Two pre-season games is plenty with no need to lengthen the season. Teams should be allowed to conduct scrimmages with other teams during training camp if needed and charge for admission.
I like this idea.
Leonard Floyd might want to reread his contract. Every NFL player who is on a team’s roster during the year will earn a base salary divided up into 18 installments. That covers the 17-game schedule and the bye week which make up the season.
If they went to an 18 game season, it would depend if they added a second by week but either way it would still be the base salary divided by a number (now 19 or 20). Unless the players negotiate an increase to compensate for the extra games, it’s the same money. More checks less per check. Total would be the same.
I think a 20-week season with 18 games and 2 bye weeks would be great. Super Bowl on President Day’s weekend. Games kick off Labor Day weekend, wild card weekend could have games on MLK day. As noted above go to 1 or 2 pre-season games with another 2-3 scrimmages where admission could be charged.
What I will never understand is why they can’t pair the bye weeks with the Thursday night games such that you never have people playing on short rest. Your bye week should be the week before a Thursday night game, so you have more than a week on both sides of the Thursday game. Because, let’s face it, the games are a farce because the players are not physically ready on such short notice.
This is insane. These guys are so beat up by the end of the season as it is. The NFLPA should push back real hard on this.
