Longer Season.. what does it offer other than more revenue?

Real football in August?

This is not good for the players, obviously, but any fan who says they wouldn't trade two preseason games for two more regular season games is crazy.

If I had season tickets I'd probably agree.. but this means player salaries will be argued up most likely and probably tickets as well.

I also think that roster sizes should be bumped up if so. I mean you don't want to sign a FA to come in at week 13 without much knowledge of your system if you've lost a guy or two at a position. Can anyone see Portis going 18 weeks? I guess the people that want Betts to get more carries would like that, but I'd definitely want to have 4 backs throughout the year, at least ONE extra lineman on each side, and a linebacker or two

As long as revenues go up, thats going to drive up the player salaries anyway, so we might as well justify it while we're at it.
