DANA POINT, Calif. -- More games that count, perhaps as early as August 2011? That's exactly what NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wants.

There are several hurdles before the league can expand its regular season from 16 to 17 or 18 games. Among them is reaching a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' union.

Still, Goodell hopes to present a proposal to the owners in May after the matter was discussed at length this week at the NFL Annual Meeting.

Personally I'm all for it. 4 preseason games are way more than needed. Now I know some people will say that the risk will be too high for key players to get injured, and while yes thats mostly true remember that these guys are getting paid millions to do their job. I'm also pretty intrigued by the 17 neutral site games.

      I quite literally did not use AI, I hate that poo. LLM's are for nitwits who can't search. You have zero idea what you are talking about.

      Your numbers aren't correct. All AI generated: 1. you admit both AJ and Devonta are sub 4.5 guys. 2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's unofficial 40-yard dash time was 4.48 seconds at his 2023 Ohio State Pro Day, though some scouts clocked him slightly faster (around 4.46-4.52), with a goal of 4.47, showcasing his agility despite not running at the NFL Combine. He excelled in short-area quickness drills, with a 6.57-second 3-cone drill and 3.93-second 20-yard shuttle.  3. Marvin Harrison Jr.'s 40-yard dash time is often reported in the low 4.4-second range, with specific unofficial times varying from 4.39 to 4.49 seconds, though he didn't officially run at the 2024 NFL Combine, with reports based on his impressive game speed and pro day figures suggesting exceptional speed for his size. He himself aimed for the high 4.3s, and scouts were buzzing about his elite speed, with some sources citing a 4.42 or even a faster 4.39 from other sources.   4. Bourne and Jennings are the 3 and 4 in SF. They were not slated as 1 and 2 before injuries. Ricky Pearsall ran an official 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, showcasing impressive speed and athleticism that contributed to his first-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers.  Brandon Aiyuk ran a 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, though his team and coaches noted he played faster in pads and his time was impacted by a recent core muscle surgery, with some believing his true speed was better than that number suggested, similar to how Jerry Rice played faster than his combine time. Ran a 4.5 after core muscle surgery. He's definitely a sub 4.5 guy.   5. Agree with Adams and Puka. They are the only other example. Really good frigging example for your argument. But the only ones.  6. Jameson Williams is a speed demon. No way he runs more than a 4.4.
