Players negotiate for their salary and AD negotiated based on the salary cap at the time and a 16 game regular season. If the league changes to an 18 game season, AD can either renegotiate (based on an expanded cap), not play (money not worth the extra games) or suck it up and play.
If player contracts mention a 16 game regular season, then all contracts would need to be reworked anyway. I assume that is the case. The union will have a say on whether or not this happens and then AD can ask for whatever money he wants. He won't get it, but he can ask.
I agree with him!
Fans are glad that you do not have ANYTHING to do with the Patriot's front office..."You can mark me down on the injured list for two weeks. You can put that in your books. You’ve done lost your mind.”......Adalius Thomas
Any player who is promising to fake an injury for two weeks while being paid 10's of millions of dollars to play football, should not be allowed to continue as a New England Patriot. I'm sure the Raiders will take him.

Actually its not utterly absurd, you can certainly argue that is true, and they are getting paid for playing 20 games. Once again all posturing until we see the final contract.

No interest in integrity...........just wins and losses? Got it.
No sense of humor? Got it.
No, they are getting paid for 16 games and 4 Pre Season games. To try to characterize it as anything else is dishonest.
You can try to play semantics all you like, a game is a game. You can argue they play 16 regular season games, which is true, and you can argue they play much harder during the regular season, which is true for some players, but not all, but you can't argue they don't play 20 games.
Sorry, but your right. Most of the country is just trying to hold onto their job or keep their house and these multi-million dollar athletes complaining about a football game being changed from a "preseason" to a "regular season" game offends me. And when the player, who gladly cashed his $12.5 million dollar signing bonus check, promises to possibly throw the season by faking injuries in the last two weeks of the season, yes..........I do lose my sense of humor. Sorry.
I can't? Have you ever actually watched a preseason game?
