At some point within the next month, we expect a new collective-bargaining agreement will be finalized. Owners and the 32 player representatives will be coming together to solidify a new plan that will have a major impact to the game over the next 10 years. Some of the changes expected to happen consist of things like going to a 17-game season with a shortened preseason schedule. Other things include a more relaxed drug policy that won’t throw the hammer down as hard as the current policy does. But of all the new ideas on the docket, the one that has generated the most buzz lately is the idea of transitioning from 12 to 14 playoff teams.
Is it really a good idea for the NFL to add two more playoff teams?
