The NFL wants 18 games so it can eventually get the SB Presidents Day weekend.

The NFL will get 18 games but knows it will require a lot of give their first offer of the 18 games 16 max per player is never happening and they know it. Kickers, punters and long snappers having to sit 2 games each is just utter stupidity and forcing teams to sit healthy OL men with their star QBs is just never happening.

However the more 18 games is discussed publicly it gets the ball moving towards it.

The NFL vs NFLPA is like the Globetrotters vs. the Generals.

The NFL could get 18 games but right now they would probably have to lower the years it would take to get to FA from 4 years to 3 years.
Knowing the PA they will get their players can use marijuana and call it a win.

If I were the PA I would give 18 games for the following give backs. 1. The elimination of the franchise tag for all non-QBs. 2. 50% of all the revenue up from 47%. 3. Teams have to spend 95% of the cap revenue over 2 years up from 89% over 4 years.
That would prevent teams from rolling too much cap space over time.
4. Pension vests at 3 years not 4.

If the PA got all this and then gave the NFL 18 game seasons, and 10 year CBA both sides would win.
