The NFL is pushing to extend the regular season to 17 games as part of its ongoing negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association, but the idea has met significant resistance among some prominent players.
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman is among them, and he confirmed his stance Wednesday by saying that the league is putting a "price tag" on player safety with its proposal, per Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. Sherman noted he doesn't think the two sides are "in the same ballpark in that regard," per the Santa Rosa Press Democrat's Phil Barber.
