    Whitner not against 17 or 18 game season

    Holy ****, I'm actually in agreement with him on this:



    I'm not sure I agree that they should money added to their contracts for the additional games, but then again, I wouldn't agree to work 12.5% more for the same pay either.

    I think they almost have to add more money to the deals.

    The owners will be increasing their revenue by a significant amount and the pay to the players is supposed to be based on league revenue. Why wouldn't they have to give the players (and coaches, referees, trainers, etc) a similar type of increase? The owners will probably see an increase of between 8-10% (a complete guess) in revenue so I would expect the NFLPA, when approving this change, will ask for the same.

      just as long as the salary cap goes up by the same.... it would suck to see teams lose their available cap because the new CBA changed the value of existing contracts.

        The cap is based on a formula related to league revenues. It is a certain % of the leagues revenue, so it would go up accordingly.

          They shouldn't get paid more.

          Lots of people work on salary and don't get paid extra for extra hours. Plus some teams already work longer via making playoffs. Do players get paid more for playoff games?

            These whining babies are making millions playing a game we all played as a kid. **** them if they want more money. I say to all the owners, lock their asses out if need be. That way I'll get my chance!

              True, but retired players benefits aren't that great, so if you add the extra games + the PO's + possibly the SB, you can expect more harm to come to their bodies later on.
              I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
