I know. They are now. And I admit I could be dead wrong, but my gut feeling is that with the new CBA money will drive this thing for the players too. I'm not judging either side, but it seems like the money could eventually look good to both sides. Enough of it, and the players will be all in for an extra game or two, even with the wear and tear on their bodies.
It will be interesting to see if the CBA negotiations involve roster size and CAP limitations. Meaning adding 2 additional RS games and adding 4 or 5 players to to overall roster limit.
Sports radio here in Atlanta said the same thing. Increase roster size and the cap. Possible add in an additional bye week.
While probably not popular, I’d like to see everyone take the same weeks off, or have the NFC collectively take the same weeks off while the AFC plays and visa versa.
