    NFL resumes quiet push for 18/16 schedule
    [​IMG]

    Per a league source, the NFL quietly has resumed its push to persuade the NFLPA to expand the regular-season to 18 game.

    If the players continue to refuse to play more than 16 games, the only way to add two games would be to expand the season while limiting each player’s participation to 16 per season. This would require coaches to make often difficult decisions about when to rest each player, twice

    The concept would cause strong reactions, in both directions. Though a union source has described the possibility of an 18-game season with a 16-game limit per player as “fascinating,” many fans would disagree. Loudly.

    Millions of fantasy football owners wouldn’t be thrilled about it, either. Loudly.
