It was reported on Friday that the NFL owners proposed to the NFLPA an 18-game schedule, but with a catch. The catch is that there is a 16 game limit for every player. Obviously meaning that you would at least need to bench every player on your 53-man roster for at least two games.
That’s a bit wild.

The obvious motivation for such a move is revenue.
