If all goes well, a new deal--predicated on a 17-game regular season that would launch sometime between 2021 and 2023--could be ratified before March 18... and go into effect in time for the new league year.

I have to believe that the main issues for the NFLPA are increasing the percentage allotted for player salaries, and removing any testing for marijuana. With a 17 game schedule, the players will definitely need more than the 47% they are getting now, and will definitely want to be able to medicate without fear of suspension.
