Jerry jones is again championing an 18 game season and 2 game preseason
I think he is right, and he is planning on bringing it up as part of the collective bargaining agreement with the players association.
I have been a fan of this for awhile as well, but from a health and 'what it means to the team' stand point. I never really considered the financial side, and it makes a lot of sense for this as well. It would do 2 things -- it would be a reason to expand the cap. adding 2 games would add a lot of revenue to the game which should add a minimum of 11% to the cap as well. This would justify the increasing salaries for players as well. season ticket prices... NFL ticket... everything associated with it would likely have a bump. And you can likely bet it will increase more than 11% to the consumer and advertising. It's a win/win for both players and owners - it's just a matter of them fighting over who gets how much of the new piece of pie.
