It's good to hear, but also nobody ever says "Oh yeah they just the same as last year" or "Actually I think they went backwards".

Someone should send my wife the memo.

I remember hearing Warner's take on Leinart after he retired. Damned him with the faint praise.

I take it as a slightly good news item, but we need to see proof first before I believe it entirely.

18 games with 2 bye weeks is better for the players.

They are getting a rest week every 6 games on average (2 byes plus end of season). Current setup gives they a break every 8.5 games. And they get an extra game check. It's win win.

It should make bye weeks less unfair to teams that get theirs in week 5.

And they get an extra game check

They do not

 

[jbjarko]

They do not

I was thinking wouldn't each individual game check just be smaller? lol

Brit isn't technically wrong. They would get an extra check, but the check would be smaller.

Every check would be smaller

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Every check would be smaller

Also true.

To start yes… but as the seasons progress and new tv contracts are negotiated another week of revenues and advertising etc…. the players would def 100% make more money since it would be more revenue for the league.

Not the ones who don’t get new contracts under some eventual new CBA.

 

[SECTION 11]

Like Cody Brown(s). Or your mom.

Nice toss, but I don't love Murray patting the ball before the throw.

I like this a lot. Give these players more time to rest during the offseason and basically roll OTAs into preseason.

See where you're coming from. But there is also an argument that the players benefit from having a month off between OTA's and TC. I don't know which is better.

When they went from 16 games to 17 games it was part of a new CBA and that CBA said that those players already under contract for 16 games would get a proportional base salary bump for the 17th game.

Those on vet minimums and with low base salaries got an extra game check (capped at $250k). The revenue share also increased.

To move to an 18 games season a new CBA would be required as the NFL can't extend the season without the NFLPA on board. So yeah, players will get an extra game check that's in line with their existing game checks. The NFLPA aren't dumb.

KMs throwing motion seems to be effortless and smooth unlike the last few seasons.

I’m guessing Benson is #33?

I would assume this is correct. I’m sure the cba contemplates number of games. No way the nflpa would just allow the nfl to add an infinite number of games without compensatory adjustment.
