Yup.  If not, just say NO.

Definitely has to be concessions of this sort. At a minimum a shorter preseason. Larger game day rosters too. Wondering what an additional post season game looks like? No bye week?

More details: Under the current CBA proposal that NFL owners are pushing for, the playoff field would be expanded to seven teams, while the regular season would be increased to 17 games per team, and the preseason shortened to three games per team, per sources.

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.

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.
