Re: Offseason: Around the NFL

Adding an extra game to the season makes no sense.

I would much rather add an extra bye and get another week of football. In fact I'd be happy to add 2 more byes and extend the season even further personally.

I still think this 17th game talk is just a bargaining chip the league can use to get what it really wants.

We will see. Players are supposed to vote on the agreement, including a 17 game season, soon.

Apparently, the NFLPA voted 6-5 NOT to recommend the approval

The 17th game is the only bargaining chip the NFLPA has. That and the fact that the owners want to get this done soon.

I think the NFLPA leadership made that vote, but it is supposed to go now to the NFLPA team reps. I think some of the changes, such as an increase in the minimum salary (by 100k) is going to convince the masses.

If the leadership is divided, I agree with you that the body of players will look at what is in it for them. But the team reps vote next and that will be far more telling as I think the team reps explain it to the players en masse.
