Early this morning the NFL and NFLPA agreed to a new CBA and ensured labor peace for the next ten years.
Sources to ESPN: NFL players voted to approve the proposed CBA, giving the NFL 10 more years of labor peace, players an increased share of revenue, former players added benefits, and the league 17-game regular seasons along with an expanded playoff field.

According to James Palmer of the NFL Network, the new CBA will do away with suspensions for players who test positive for marijuana and also puts limits in place for how many times they can be tested for THC.
The new CBA eliminates suspensions for positive marijuana tests and also limits the testing period to the first two weeks of training camp and raise the threshold for a positive test from 35 to 150 nanograms of THC. https://t.co/cQA4rjV8mq

As soon as people learned of the new marijuana provision in the CBA everyone made the same joke about Josh Gordon, who was suspended several times for testing positive for weed throughout the years.
*NFL players will no longer be penalized if tested positive for marijuana use*
