1) All preseason games canceled
2) on field practice to begin Aug 17 max 14 days in pads
3) 2 weeks of an acclimation period to include 8 days of strength and conditioning as well as walk thrus
4 days of shells and helmets only

4) roster to be cut to 80 either before vets report or before the 16th
5) practice squads to increase to 16 players, 6 can be vested vets (maybe a spot for a still unsigned Dennard)
6) no play no pay...a canceled game or season results in no paycheck; players may opt out of season with a stipend..they have 10 days to decide
7) 2021 salary cap to be a minimum of $175 million. If that ends up the number there will be a whole lot of vets on the street. a $20 million drop from this season= 1 AJ Green
8) benefit cuts through 2022 season

I'm sure there will be more information coming out once it is officially ratified (NFLPA voting starts 3:30)

That's going to really kill the chances of undrafted players that were signed.  Also I wonder how much it really matters cutting it from 90 to 80 will do.  I mean is 10 less players really going to make a big impact when it comes to curbing Covid?
