I thought I read elsewhere that only the #1 seed will get a bye for the play-offs too?

How would players be compensated for a 17th game if they signed contracts based on a 16-game schedule? Basically, under proposed CBA, they'd get an extra game check, but it'd be capped at $250,000, per sources. So the highest-paid players would play for less than usual.Show this thread

Hopefully they aren't going to agree to this.

That's probably going to be a major sticking point with the players, but I'm guessing they are getting some concessions from the owners as well.  It'll be interesting to see if this gets approved or not, I have mixed feelings on some of these changes.

not necessarily,  i had heard a proposal that the extra game for every team in the league will be at a neutral site to further the NFLs efforts to go global.

17th game will be an international contest...testing for a permanent abroad franchise?

No pot related suspensions. As Vikings fans we need this to go through for Hill's sake!

Viking fans need weed.
I hear depression is a legitimate use for getting my "green" card.
I'm gonna have to look into it.
