NFL players began to vote on a proposed new collective bargaining agreement Thursday. Voting will be open for the next week.

If the public opinions of two Rams stars are any indication, the vote is not going to go well for the league.

Still on his trip to Europe, Rams’ running back Todd Gurley tweeted his blunt response to Cody Davis’ Twitter request that “all NFL players should take time to read over the CBA proposal, weigh the pros and cons, then VOTE!”
