You're looking at a longer season...more byes...more teams and more playoff teams.

Hence adding 6-8 weeks to the season and drastically increasing revenue.

Praying this never happens. You are right. The talent pool is limited.
18 game schedule, more playoff games--to me that means more injuries.

The one thing I like about Football is the season is short compared to NBA, NHL, MLB.

Hockey and basketball should not be having games in June. and Baseball should be done in October, not november. Cant wait for a World Series game to be cancelled because of snow in Minneapolis in November.

They see dollar signs...

I can name at least 4 markets the NFL would love to put teams in..probably 6 and it's not hard to get to 8 to be honest.

Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, Milbank South Dakota.....

Austin Texas is probably the first one that comes to mind for the US...but don't think they don't want teams in places like Toronto and England they see tons of cash there.

What an absolute crock of shit. How many more bad ideas can Rodger and his buddies come up with?

If you thought it would net the league a billion more in revenue, you'd propose it too.....it's his job to "grow" the game and under his watch they have gone from a 5 billion dollar industry to 15....

They've basically exhausted all of the normal revenue increasing ideas so now we are to more games and more teams.

The biggest point of all of this is, if the players expect any of their demands to be met they are going to have to concede this because it's their only bargaining chip.

If 18 games happens, at some point a contender is going to lose their QB in Week 17 or later. It’ll happen eventually.

Patrick Mahomes should receive 100% of all NFL revenue

They can’t even fill stadiums with a ton of teams they have now.

Chargers, Buccaneers, 49ers, Raiders, Dolphins, Jaguars. Nobody goes to see those teams.

What a disaster this would be

It's where they are....there are markets without teams that would draw.

So, if more games means more injuries, perhaps they should only play 10 games a year. There, I fixed it.

Then move teams that can’t provide money to those locations. FFS Cali, NY and Florida all have at least 3 teams. No state needs 3 ****ing teams

I get that but it's all about eye balls and ad revenue. Additional games and weeks ads a ton of money.
