With less than two weeks before the extended CBA deadline expires, the WNBA dropped a new proposal that involves a record-breaking max salary. The latest reports have revealed new details about the ongoing negotiations between the league and the players' union. According to The Associated Press' Doug Feinberg, the latest CBA proposal by the league is a maximum salary of $1.1 million. It's expected to grow every season, with more than one player eligible for it. There will also be a new minimum salary of $220,000, which is right around the league maximum over the past few seasons. The expected average salary for players will be around $460,000, which is four times higher than last season's average. Sources told Feinberg that the WNBA's latest proposal was made in hopes of ending the negotiations and moving forward into what could be the craziest free agency in league history. It will be interesting to see if the WNBPA accepts the deal before the deadline. They can make another counteroffer since there are still a few days left before the current CBA expires. If both sides can't agree on a new agreement, the league will enter a lockout at the worst time. The WNBA is growing in popularity, and a work stoppage could derail all the positive things that have happened over the years.One of the biggest stories entering the negotiations was Napheesa Collier's comments about league commissioner Cathy Engelbert. The issue has seemingly died down over the past few weeks, though it was likely to put the focus on finalizing a new CBA.

Nevertheless, her future has been a point of discussion since Napheesa Collier's bombshell revelation after the Minnesota Lynx were eliminated from the playoffs.ESPN's Elle Duncan discussed Engelbert's job security in an appearance on "The Dan La Batard Show." "I do not believe anything is going to happen until they can get this new CBA ratified," Duncan said, according to Sports Illustrated. "Because that's ridiculous to have someone in high-level conversations, and then to bail right when we're actually reaching critical time in the space, I think is asinine. So I don't anticipate any change happening before then, but I do anticipate a change coming."It's up to team owners if they want to retain Engelbert as a commissioner moving forward.
