So does that mean the salary cap will be raised since there will be an additional game revenue?
Bears owners deserve some credit for being the sole team voting against the 17 game season

They are getting paid for the 17th. Please don’t believe for a minute the players would play a regular season game for free.

It’s better than a 4th preseason game.

It’s not actually 1 more game. It’s still only 20 games like it’s always been but now they actually get paid for 17 instead of 16

The increase in revenue will applied to next years cap, and will not effect this years cap. Some players will get paid extra, it depends on their contract wording, but most won't.

Starters don't play the 4th preseason game, so from a players perspective, no it's not.

They are not though. Demaurice Smith is a dunce.
They will benefit later when the new contracts get rolled out with the rev deal, but there was not a change in their contract to lift their pay due to an extra game.

This is true, players will get paid 1/17th more for that extra game as an added bonus if they are on the roster for game 17. So that's nearly $11M extra each team would have to pay in terms of total cap...or in essence solve for.

What about existing contracts that run into seasons that could expand to 17 games? Will those be adjusted?
Yes. Any player who is under contract when the new CBA is signed and remains on that contract in a year in which the league plays 17 games will receive a bonus of 1/17th of his salary if he's on the roster on the date of that 17th game.
So, to make it simple: If your current contract says you're scheduled to earn $17 million in 2021, and the league expands to 17 games that season, you get an extra $1 million as long as you're on the roster on the date of that 17th game.

Two more playoff teams. Expanded rosters. A 17th game ... eventually. Here's everything in the new CBA that will run through the 2030 season.

Thanks! I stand corrected, for some reason I thought players made statements about the pay issue, but glad I was wrong about this part at least.
Wondering if this has to be retrofitted into the cap.

From what I've read, the extra bonuses players will receive won't go against the cap. Instead, they'll get paid through a different "performance-based" pool the NFL set up.

Your point is correct- But I am just gonna be an asswipe and correct the math.
if their contract was 16 million previously, they would get one million extra for the game.
If it was previously 17 million, they would get 1,062,500 for the extra game.
ok...I am done being a douchebag. for now.

The gambling lobby loves this, another game that actually means something and gets real action. I am sure the NFL gets a piece.
At least there's a better chance of getting in with a 9-8 or 8-9 record. The dominant teams will still rack up the wins and leave more room for middle of the pack that will go out in the 1st round...

That's how I would've calculated & structured it. But the way it's explained is that the bonus is literally worth 1/17th of their salary.

Many of them didn't. The vote was 1,019 to 959 and it was largely the fringe starters and backups that voted for it not the stars. It is a bit of a rigged game in that regard as owners thru some stuff in their to appeal to the lesser players while the people most affected by this ie the starters are the ones that voted against. It is also rigged in that owners typically need 75% agreement to accept a proposal while the players only need a simple majority. If the latter was required on the player side then the CBA would not have passed. Of course, a lot of this is self-inflicted but point is treating the players as some monolith when nearly half of them disagreed with the CBA is inaccurate.

On the pay for an additional 17th game. That only applies if your base salary is higher than minimum salary and if you signed your deal before the new CBA. Those on minimum salaries already had the NFL minimum increased in anticipation of the 17th game which is why again most of the people voting for it were on the bottom end of the roster. For those who signed their deal after the new CBA, the language of the contract is such that it stipulates that their negotiated pay was inclusive of any presumed increase relates to the 17th game. Jared Goff actually has the biggest paycheck due at 1.5 million due to the 17th game and Khalil Mack is one of the few players who stands to get more than 1 million for the 17th game.
The extra pay does not impact the cap but those that restructured significantly to help teams may get screwed as if you converted salary into SB for example then that would lower you base salary and as the extra pay is based on base salary would lower your 17th game check.

It was collectively bargained. The union would've never agreed to a 17 game without compensation
