According to Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal, NFL owners have
proposed an 18-game regular season with a caveat that no player would be
allowed to compete in more than 16 games.
The NFLPA has been reluctant to stretch the regular season beyond its current
16-game schedule due to injury concerns, but putting a cap on how many games
a player can suit up for would be a fair compromise. Per Beaton, extending
the regular season by two games could increase league revenue by $2.5 billion
while potentially adding $15 million to each team's salary cap. Choosing when
to sit players would also add an interesting layer to coaching decisions.
It's unclear how much (if any) traction this idea has, but it's not the worst
idea the NFL has ever come up with.
真要实施就有趣多了 每季强制轮休两场以上 跟玩 fantasy football 一样!
这样替补四分卫应该薪水会涨不少.
