Holy shit, if that’s true it’s one of the most insane fuck ups I’ve ever heard about. The Raiders are an incompetent clown show but that would be astoundingly awful even for them.

huh, forgot about that

I was referencing current potential move to 18 games including 2 bye weeks tho
Many players already want the league to add another bye week because playing football is physically demanding and they want more time to rest and heal their bodies. That extra bye would have to be a major part of negotiations.

“Eighteen games is definitely a big ask. That’s not easy adding that extra game,” Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow said. “Obviously, it would be great for revenue, but I feel like adding that bye week, if you’re going to have the 18-game schedule, is pretty critical for our bodies. If you keep that first bye week, and some teams have the bye in Week 5, Week 6, and then you’re going 12, 13 games in a row, that’s not easy. Probably a Thursday night game thrown in there, too, so that’s never easy. Those two byes are pretty critical.”

problem with that is the regular season would then have to be 20 weeks long, 2 weeks longer than in it is right now.
weather would become an issue with scheduling, as it's hot some places in August and cold some places in January.

Yeah I know the premise is the rip off of Key and Peele. But the point is NIL will cause this to happen.

From the article:

If you're a Raiders fan, would you rather have your team draft a shitty player as a fuck-up when they thought they were drafting a good one or just have the front office draft a guy with a UDFA grade in the third round who was cut a year later? Tough call.

If they did select the wrong player who would be responsible for that?

Why 2 weeks longer than now?

Adding 1 bye week... the 18th regular season game is 1 less preseason game and no impact on length of season

I have yet to see a Bears fans admit that their team took the wrong QB. Was it necessary for Caleb to have a Bryce Young season? I had noticed it so I went searching Bears sites and forums, it's amazing how much in denial they are.
