No, just no. Guys were already falling apart on 16 game seasons and the 17 game season only served to compound the issues further. Adding an 18th game would be detrimental to the player's health and the quality of product that ends up on the field. It would be a move driven solely by unadulterated greed
Get rid of 2/3 preseason games (coaches already know for the most part who will make the 53 man roster, it’s very rare undrafted players who play well in preseason make the roster), add one more game and one more bye-week. Season is 20 weeks. Each team plays 18; has 2 byes. Or 2 preseason games, 18 games, 2 byes each and move the playoffs and Super Bowl back one week
...12% of undrafted players end up becoming starters. Wtf are u talking about. So many people speak with virtually no real knowledge of what they are saying.
Anyone that’s thinks making the season longer is better for the game needs their head checked. How many of the games star players have to get injured before the you realize the product will suffer. Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, Dax, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Barkley, the numerous lineman and defensive players. And this is all within a year. Rodger Godell is a shill for money and no regard for the safety of anything other then his bank accounts.

The starters only play a 1/2 game in pre season anyway. And the roster, PS, and cap would have to be expanded. So win win win for owners, players and fans.
As a fan preseason isnt the best. But its absolutely necessary for coaches to evaluate players.
Also add an extra bye week for the players
You should be the commissioner
Agreed, especially with each team having to play 2 Thursday night football games, that extra bye week will be well deserved

Wish it stayed at 16
Holy CTE💀
That one old commercial 'Tuesday morning football!!!' doesn't feel far off at this point.
If they’re going to do this, they should also add a 2nd bye week.
Wanna make the game safer? Go back to 16 games
Get ready for more injuries to starting players.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
capitalism baby.
Up it to a 60 man roster as most starters don't even play much pre season if you're gonna increase the number of games again
The NFL will turn into the NBA where the stars don’t play half the games 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ More injuries for the players too
More BYE WEEKS!!!!
17 games is already too many games
jeff fisher returning to go 8-1-9 on the season
Yes 18 games are necessary in my opinion
Nah, not 18. Stay with 17. There's been 17 weeks in a football season typically anyway, so why change ?
CFL plays 18 games, players don't earn as close to NFL players.
Roger goodell is a clown and he been one
Add 2 more weeks than so it’s 1 extra bye.
Money Money Money
Limit money for every position, more salary cap,no preasosn games,more active players in roster
It better be safer if this is what people want
Get rid of pre-season and make it 20 games with 2 or 3 bye weeks
Thats a lot of games. If they do this when will it happen
Give players two or three weeks off mid season and your more likely to get a yes
One game doesn't matter, i guess

This guy is ruining nfl

Should’ve been this season but, hopefully next season let everyone be off after the SuperBowl
It can’t happen till after 2030
What about to add new divisional like central add new teams, 8 teams, new teams in Canada,UK Germany, Brazil more fun to warch
When will the nfl be more diverse and add more white and Asian players?
First
This sounds great fan wise and we get more! Like if you agree
