More games equals more money for everyone and, ultimately, more money gets most deals done in sports and business
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore looks at media members during an NFL football training camp practice in Lake Forest, Ill., on July 23, 2024.
Of course, it’s going to take a lot of convincing to get most of the league’s players on board with another game. But the NFL usually gets what the NFL wants. The league persuaded the union to allow a 17th game in the last round of CBA discussions and the schedule was expanded in 2021. Under the current CBA, the players’ share of league revenue increased from 47 per cent to 48 per cent starting in 2021. A “media kicker” that went into effect with the 17-game regular-season schedule grew that share to 48.5 per cent based on an increase in revenue from the league’s new television contracts. The maximum amount the players’ could’ve reached was 48.8 per cent. They’re going to want at least 50 per cent to add another game.
“If you reduce a pre-season game, you have all these young guys you’re trying to develop, and you have to have them every year,” Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “You look at what we were able to do with some of our young guys last year, and how important they were to us winning, but there’s a process to it. If you don’t get them developed or get them enough reps to where they help you, then – that’s the only thing. That’s what you lose, so there again, we’ll make it work.
Beyond getting more money through a larger revenue share and an extra game check and an additional bye, the union could seek lifetime health care for players. Currently, vested players – guys with at least three credited seasons – receive five additional years of benefits after retirement.
