""I think that if we can make it work, I do think that it would be good. I think preseason is, as far as the fan product goes, the commissioner has openly said that it's not the best product that we have.""
""But I think as long as the players want it -- which I think they would, because it would mean more revenue -- I think [it's] ultimately a better product. I think it's reasonable. It's something we should work toward.""
The NFL is contemplating an 18-game regular season, potentially reducing preseason games to two. Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon supports the idea, citing improved revenue and fan experience. However, the NFL Players Association opposes the expansion, similar to their stance before the 17-game season was approved in 2021. Any change would necessitate negotiations with the union, which could involve reopening collective bargaining agreement discussions before the current deal expires in 2030, presenting challenges for both sides.
