The new collective bargaining agreement was sent to players on Thursday morning, allowing them to vote to either approve or deny the new CBA. Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald made it clear on social media what their ballots will read.
Both players are urging their peers to vote no on the proposal, though they didn’t cite their reasoning. The new CBA would include a shortened preseason, but also a 17-game regular season, 14-team playoff field and limited time in pads during offseason workouts.
Gurley simply tweeted “VOTE NO” with two exclamation points. Donald corrected Gurley with a reply that read, “Vote HELL NO.”
Players have until March 12 to submit their ballots. Gurley and Donald aren’t the only ones against the terms of the proposed CBA, with Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson also taking that stance.
If the majority of players don’t vote to ratify the proposal, the new CBA will not take effect. If it’s passed, though, it will run through 2030, avoiding any possible lockout.
