Take him in the quarter-back of the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, a regular at the playoffs since entering the NFL, each additional game has made a physical assessment.
While Commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners of the NFL discussed the expansion of the regular season at 18 games, the problem requires collective negotiations with the players. Count Mahomes as a “no” if and when the moment comes for players to weigh on an official measure to extend the regular season again.
“I always say the games more, it’s a little more trying on the guys playing the game,” said Mahomes on Friday in an interview with CNBC.
MAHOMES said that the framework of potential proposals subtracting one or more weeks of pre-season matches and shortening of players’ training dates during the offseason may not be enough to influence his opinion. The league played a 16 -game calendar when Mahomes was drafted and moved to 17 games in 2021. Goodell pointed out during the meetings of the NFL owners that there is a next logical step at 18 games.
“I think you should find a way to have more weeks, more time.” So if there was a way to reach 18 games, I’m not a big fan of that. But if there was a way, I think you have to add weeks off to give more time for guys’ bodies. “
The executive director of NFLPA, Lloyd Howell, said that negotiations to an 18 game calendar does not occur anytime soon.
Howell said in February that “no one wanted” an 18th match.
The incentive for players would probably share the income in one form or another with the rights of the media and the dissemination agreements of the NFL for renegotiation before 2029 if the league retires from its existing CBS-Paramount agreement.
This week told Sun Valley Conference in Idaho this week that the NFL should not end its partnership with CBS and Paramount.
“We have a period of two years to make this decision. I do not see that happening, but we have this option,” said Goodell.
