The NFL is considering expanding the regular season to 18 games, which could cost the league $14.088 billion. However, it is not necessary for the league and NFL Players Association to wait for the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) before reaching an agreement on new terms. The CBA is a flexible document that can be amended or extended at any time.
Adding games and windows to the regular season schedule could potentially generate more revenue for the league and offset some of the costs associated with the potential legal payout. One proposal is to add one extra game and one extra bye week, creating 20 weekends of regular season football. This would maximize revenue for the league and create more opportunities for players to rest.
The NFL could also re-negotiate TV deals and potentially win the Sunday Ticket case in the Supreme Court to secure additional funds to offset potential legal costs. With strategic planning and smart financial moves, the NFL could navigate these challenges and emerge stronger in the long run. By taking proactive steps now, the league could position itself for continued growth and success in the future.
