I heard or read somewhere that they are now thinking of a 17 game season and they believe they can get the NFLPA to agree to it.
Reduction to 2 preseason games.
17 game regular season
A 2nd bye week added per team.
8 home games & 8 away games & 1 game at a neutral site... London, Mexico, Canada, for example.
With the extra regular season game & the 2nd bye week, the regular season goes from 17 weeks to 19.
The Super Bowl will then be played the Sunday before the Presidents' Day holiday, so most people will not have to work the next day.
I think this is an excellent idea.
I found it.......
NFLPA president on 17-game season: “I never say never”
I like it for no other reason than trading one extra game for an additional bye week would help injury-wise.
