NFL Discussing 18 game schedule this week

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's campaign to add an 18th game to the regular-season schedule is reportedly set to gain momentum during next week's annual owners meetings.

According to Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, two NFL executives believe schedule expansion talks "will intensify" when the annual meeting talks place in Palm Beach, Florida from March 30 to April 2.

Those talks will be part of what is expected to be "more assertive efforts" from Goodell and team owners to talk schedule expansion this summer, according to Robinson.

The NFL has an option to opt out of many of its current broadcast deals after the 2029 season. The league could theoretically hope to get more money on a new deal if it can promise networks 18-game seasons after the current collective bargaining agreement expires in March 2031.

I just hope the owners can make enough revenue that they can keep the NFL as a viable sports league.

Just keep adding one every two years until we get to a 365 game schedule.

There was a time I thought this was a great idea. The product , and not just the Giants, sucks so bad now that they need to get rid of at least two teams and go back to 16.

I want an 18 game season. 2 preseason games, 18 regular season games. Expand roster by 2-3 players.

If they do go to 18 games I want them to look into playing division opponents 4 times each instead of 2. You’d still have 6 out of division games. That would increase rivalries and division identity.

Uh, no.    Who wants to play the same team 4 times in one season?
