Another tentative deal reached between CFL and CFLPA
Another tentative deal between the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Canadian Football League Players’ Association (CFLPA) has been reached.
In a tweet the CFL said it has been informed the players will be voting on the tentative agreement sometime Thursday night.
TSN’s Farhan Lalji said the deal comes with a ratification bonus of $1.25 million.
Lalji also said the deal was unanimously approved by the bargaining committee and player representatives.
The CFL’s pre-season schedule is slated to start Friday night.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are scheduled to play their first pre-season contest on Tuesday.
A previous deal was voted down by the players on Monday even though the CFLPA encouraged them to accept the agreement.
