NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero broke the news on Wednesday that the NFL and NFLPA are currently discussing the possibility of shortening the 2020 preseason from four games to two.
At this time, Pelissero warns fans about getting their hopes up as nothing is close to certain, but “multiple team executives” who are close to the discussion believe that the opportunity to minimize the exhibition games is real.
Pelissero goes on to say that time spent preparing for games that do not directly affect the success of teams during the 2020 season would be better used to “ramp up” towards the regular season after this offseason was drastically altered due to the coronavirus.
