Is that all their down to at this point?  What's going on with the 18-game schedule and the rookie cap?

Both sides are in agreement on the rookie cap. They were just working out the nuts and bolts of it. Players are refusing to consider the 18-game schedule from the last report I heard on ESPN.

As they should not.  The 18 game schedule is an abomination.

How about a 17 game compromise?

One of the joys of the NFL is that each game is so meaningful.  16 games is almost too much as it is and by the end of the season we are all patiently waiting around for the playoffs.

You know, there's a very successful pro football league that plays 18 games... :whistle:

Agreed. And by 16 games the players are already very beat up and injured.

Normally, I'm on the side of the owners, not the players, but I 100% agree with the players on this, and hope that's not something that they compromise away.

I agree with the mob.  More is not always better and this is the perfect example.  Sixteen games is plenty, we already have stars sitting out the last game or two once they clinch a playoff spot, having an extra two games will only make that worse.  It would also make teh division games even less important than they are now.  With only 4 teams per division you only get 6 division games, if there were 12 out of division games those 6 would be even more meaningless than they are now.

The principle argument I've heard from the owners for taking a bigger cut is they want to use the money to fund market expansion.  Seems to me the players might see that in their interest as well, with a possible compromise of getting a player rep on some sort of committee overseeing the expenditures.

Also vote no on expansion.  I think we should kill the preseason while we're at it.

The teams that don't get the extra home game would be mad.
