I have no problem with that at all. What ever they need to do to help prevent a lockout. It will make it a little harder for some of the URFA to have a shot at making the team though.

I was watching NFL Live today and Clayton (A.k.a. Baby in a suit) was talking about a cease fire compromise contract that the NFL sent to the PA that included an 18 game season. Minus 2 exhibition games of course. What would you guys think about this?

My guess is it will probably happen.

No.No.No.No.No.

I don't know why Roger Goodell keeps doing crap like this.

This isn't what the players want, and it's not what the majority of most fans want.

By fans, I mean the ones who truely follow and understand the game BTW.

This is simply a financial move, and it makes me sick, because of how little concern it shows for the players.

I would support it, but this is a very good point. Decade old records would be broken left and right.

Its true, just as now they say things like "this is the best record, since the merger" they will start saying how the records now are since the season expanded, to separate itself from the past. Still will suck, but i would welcome more games.

And btw, Inception is an awesome movie

Not quite.

The NFL had a 14 game season after the merger.

That's why so many rushing records are being broken.

I too heard this on NFL Live. Personally, though two extra weeks to watch Carolina sounds like a blessing, Chris Carter brought up the point that years down to road when players are in their 40s and 50s, two extra games a week would be severely felt in their future. 16 seems like almost a eternity considering the beating each man takes. If this were to be implemented, roster sizes should increase.

I think I'd rather watch my favorite players play for a longer career than a couple of games that could be meaningless depending on a teams record for playoff implications. Also, 2 more weeks only means more money for players, or certainly the athletes are going to push for an increase in minimum salary.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
