The NFL Players Association is still sitting on the proposed collective bargaining agreement. The proposal includes an additional regular-season game for each team. Some industry experts say that US sports betting will benefit from the new NFL game schedule.
Also, the new CBA will guarantee that players will have a share of gambling revenue. However, the terms of the agreement have vague wording. It doesn’t include how much the share will be and what it will cover.
The NFLPA was supposed to vote on the new CBA on Friday, but it didn’t take place. Some players opposed the proposed CBA, including Houston’s JJ Watt. However, the league owners already gave their blessing to the ten-year deal.
