The NFL’s dream of an 18-game regular season just hit a major roadblock. The NFL Players Association isn’t backing down, and they’re demanding a bigger slice of the pie before they agree to any changes.
NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell made it clear: players aren’t thrilled about the idea of an extra game, and they’re not going to roll over for the owners. They want a bigger share of the revenue, expanded rosters, more bye weeks, and a shorter offseason.
This is a power struggle between the players and the owners, and it’s going to be a battle. The owners want more games, more money, and more international exposure. But the players are concerned about their health, their safety, and their long-term well-being.
The NFLPA is in a strong position. They know the owners are desperate for an 18-game season, and they’re going to use that leverage to get the best possible deal for their members. They’re not going to settle for anything less than a significant increase in their share of the revenue.
This is a high-stakes negotiation, and the future of the NFL hangs in the balance. Will the owners cave to the players’ demands? Or will they hold their ground and risk a stalemate that could delay the 18-game season indefinitely? Get ready for a showdown, because the NFLPA is not backing down.
