In a possible sign of contentious negotiations to come, Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly pushed back at the idea of the NFL expanding to 18 regular-season games in response to comments league commissioner Roger Goodell made on The Pat McAfee Show.
"Eighteen games sounds great when Roger's saying it on Pat McAfee," Kelly said, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. "But until you're the one that's going out there and putting the helmet on for 18 of those games, then come talk to me."
Kelly's comments carry additional weight because he is the vice president on the NFL Players Association's executive committee.
