A new collective bargaining agreement could be on the way, but the NFL is still working through some of the details. One topic that remains up in the air is the possibility of going to a 17-game schedule as ESPN reported on Sunday:
NFL player leadership is still majorly divided over the thought of a 17-game season.
Player reps fell into three categories when discussing the proposed new collective bargaining agreement, sources told ESPN: those who do not want 17 games, those who will accept it with tweaks to the deal, and those who accept it as-is.
