The artice in the link below is somewhat of a followup on the proposed 18 game NFL schedule that was discussed in a thread yesterday.

NFL owners are eager to increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games.

The players aren't so sure

Why are NFL billionaire owners gearing up to square off against millionaire players? Alex Marvez tells you why you should care a lot.

During a five-hour meeting at a posh hotel in downtown Atlanta, the push to add two more games to the regular season picked up steam Wednesday - at least among those who sign the checks.

As we all to well know, exhibitions often don't sell out and some are blacked out,for this very reason.

The regular season games naturally make more money for the league and more money for the players because they don't make money for preseason games.

If 2 games are indeed added it will will shorten players careers and probably lengthen rosters.

There is no doubting that more players will be lost to injury,then NFL teams will have to have good backups on the roster to replace them.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
