We knew it was coming, but what do the players get in return? Another bye week? A larger team roster?

How about 16 games with two bye weeks. Mission accomplished. Longer season, more Sundays, healthier players.

Makes too much sense, probably. I suppose two more games makes that many more gazillions for the league in terms of ad revenue.

Doing this would almost certainly mean that a second bye week is added, plus an increased roster and salary cap

This would be the only way the NFLPA would ever agree to this.

Still one bye week. And opportunity for more old record to be broken.

I wonder if any of these records that are being set now have an asterisk? Or if there was an asterisk by any records when we went to 16 games from 14 games?
