The NFL and NFL Players Association continue to fight over whether and what players will be paid in the event that games are canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that won't keep games from happening.

The current collective bargaining agreement — ratified by the NFLPA after the pandemic began — already addresses the situation. Because the CBA contains no force majeure clause, the players are entitled to full pay in 2020, even if games are canceled.

The league's only argument regarding reduced pay comes under the Standard Player Contract, which suggests that the duty to pay base salary does not arise until at least one game has been played.

If there are no games, the players get no pay. If, however, there is only one game, the players get full pay.
