<p>The NFL players did their part on Thursday to officially complete the end of the NFL lockout by ratifying the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The exact details of the new CBA aren't fully known as of yet, but either way, the NFL's new year is now officially started.</p>
<p>Fox Sports' Jay Glazer was the first to report that the players came to an agreement.</p>
<p>"Just got word from a source they have received enough votes! Let the league year begin," Glazer <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/#!/Jay_Glazer/status/99217015998386176">wrote on Twitter</a>. "The players have voted to ratify the new CBA!"</p>
<p>According to various reports around the web, it seems the personal conduct policy that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell implemented will stay roughly the same despite some players probably not being thrilled about that. The players will also likely have to undergo some form of HGH testing, though details of that haven't been officially revealed.</p>
<p>As the details of the new CBA come out, SB Nation New York will work to continue bringing its readers the news (so keep refreshing this page!).</p>

<p>The labor issues between the NFL players and owners is over... for good this time. The two sides <a href="http://mike-freeman.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6264363/31100146">reportedly </a>reached an agreement on the final details of a new collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Each team representative will now pass along the finished deal to the rest of the players association so they can cast their vote for or against ratification. </p>
<p>Assuming all goes as planned and the deal is approved -- 50 percent plus one is needed -- all veteran free agents will be able to practice with their teams starting at 4pm EST Thursday. During the first week of training camps only rookies and veterans that were already under contract could practice, leaving teams and players frustrated as they tried to get in meaningful reps.</p>
<p>New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin <a href="http://newyork.sbnation.com/new-york-giants/2011/8/4/2343713/new-york-giants-training-camp-day-7-a-full-squad-for-practice-maybe">couldn't hide</a> his distaste for how the first week of training camp was limited by the pending CBA.</p>
<p>"We need to all get on the same field for crying out loud," Coughlin said Wednesday night. "We have so many of them [players unable to practice], you almost need to hire another field so they can hang around it."</p>
