I do not understand the players not wanting an 18 game schedule. If you include 4 pre-season games they already play "18" games worth of snaps. Take away two meaning-less pre-season games and max profit this league. If you include post-season, Many teams already play way more than 18 games a season too(ugh the pats have played entire seasonS more than everyone) Very simple add an extra bye week for all teams. First bye week period for all teams form 4-7 weeks and the second is form 10-13 weeks, that would also solve many other issues like- Teams mad at having early/late bye week, Thursday night games, London/Canada/Mexico/Mars travel is much easier now.

Now you add an extra 3 full weeks of content to a league that could easily make billions off of. NFL by far has the shortest content period of all the big sports, this would feed the starving NFL fans an giant feast. Everyone wins and gets more money, its beyond dumb not to do.

It lowers their pay per game rate.

No way you increase games and not give a boost in pay. 15% increase would be more than fair. Even for the guys making 500,000(highest percent of players) thats an extra 75,000 for basically the same total snaps. Extra bye week would help with R&R too. You could even increase the total rosters to 55 players also adding to the players side.
