Could the NFL’s 18-Game Season Become a Dangerous Game Changer for Player Safety?
âSeventeen games is already, for many of the guys, too long,â he added. âSeventeen games is also so lengthy that you’re still dealing with injuries going into the next season. So there are a variety of issues that hang off of the length of the season before any formal negotiations.”
But will the increased revenue for both the players and the league ultimately be enough of a motivator to get an agreement done in the next couple of years?
The bottom line is there arenât likely to be more injuries on average in an 18-game season than there is during the current 17-game format. And when the NFL goes after something for the betterment of the shield, it usually gets it.
