Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II released a statement about the NFL players passing the new collective bargaining agreement. The new CBA creates sweeping changes to the landscape of the NFL and offers concessions on both sides in order to assure there is no work stoppage.
We are excited to have come to terms with the NFLPA on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that I believe is fair for the players, teams, and our fans. Many people worked very hard at finalizing this agreement. It is a win-win arrangement that will allow the NFL to continue to grow and provide significant increased benefits to both current and retired players.
It is great that we can now move forward and allow the focus to remain on our team’s preparations for free agency, the draft, and then the 2020 season without any disruptions associated with the absence of a new labor agreement.
