Offseason: Around the NFL

Would we rather have more regular season games or more playoff games? The answer is pretty easy for me.

Well apparently we are getting an extra regular season game and an extra playoff team.

Not a fan of the seventh playoff team. It means the first weekend you could have 4ea 8win 9loss teams(or worse) playing.
2 seed vs 7th (7th seed likely is no better than 8 and 9)
And 4th seed(worst division winner potential 8 and 9 record or worse 7 and 10) vs the best wild card team, likely an 11 or 12 win team.


Maybe they can change the seeding to minimize it but with the 17game season there will be lots of mediocre football during wildcard weekend.

The extra regular season game is going to be a tough sell without a significant concession by the league. Maybe getting rid of testing for weed will turn the tables.

The article i read said the main swaying point is that with a 17game season the players percentage if revenue goes up to 48.5 percent. Even without it though, the percentage is supposed to go to 48. I imagine that that is a whole lot more money flowing into the salary cap allocation.
