Again, I am positive this schedule, along with moving to an 18 game schedule, is going to lead to a work stoppage.
The players are going to want a higher percentage, more control or regulation, or limits on how soon back to back games can be played, etc.
I also hope the players push for an expanded roster. If there are going to be 18 regular season games, and more international travel, and any short weeks, teams should have more healthy players available for games, and the way to do that is by expanding the rosters.
And while this isn't roster related, but if the NFL really wants to expand into other countries, a brand new NFL Europe seems like a no brainer. It might take a while to be profitable, but it could create a true farm system for the NFL, plus Europe seems ready to embrace American Football now more than ever.
