Actually, no. Was just told the full player vote won’t be for a couple of weeks, as NFLPA attorneys have to draft the document. https://t.co/OcieDMmDQk

In the next CBA in 10 years. It only makes sense to have it even numbered.
I think it will eventually be 2 preseason games, 18 regular season games with 2 bye weeks & 8 teams in the playoffs per conference with no byes. Rosters will be expanded again. Less practice & more pay for the fringe players. I can also see an eventual 50/50 cut in regards to revenue sharing between the owners & players.
A team making it to the Super Bowl would play 23 games. [Reply]

18 games makes expansion way easier too which is where this is going. [Reply]
The main thing I'm concerned about is the salary cap and hopefully having a single player or 2 exempt or something, that'd be super beneficial for us and I don't exactly expect it to happen. Just wishful thinking.
Not sure how I feel about 14 playoff teams and 17 games. Think the current format for playoffs is good.. but other than that, it doesn't exactly effect me so [Reply]

An odd number of games means that some teams will be at a disadvantage with home/road splits or every team will have to play an international game every year. Neither of those are good ideas in my opinion. Also, while I'm sure they have something in mind, I have no idea how they would tweak the schedule to keep it remotely even in terms of who plays who. Adding an extra game against a non common opponent means that one team in each division is probably going to get shafted by having to play a much harder team than the rest of the division. [Reply]
