Rather than make each of these a separate post, I am just gonna combine them into a single, multi-faceted post.
- Under the new CBA proposal that is currently floating around, the idea is to add a 17th regular season game, and dropping one of the preseason games. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, we have known the NFL has been coveting a 17 game schedule for years...The additional regular season game would also come with a 2nd bye week for each team. One question would be how the unbalanced schedule would affect the number of home vs. away games each team has. I suspect they would either just rotate each year, or schedule more neutral site/international games, so that every team plays in one, every year. That way, all 32 teams keep 8 home and 8 away scheduling, but with one additional neutral site game. No more Jaguars only getting 7 home games because they are scheduled as the "home team" in London every year. - The CBA proposal also includes adding a 3rd wildcard team to each conference, making it 7 teams, not 6 qualifying for the playoffs in each. The #2 seed would no longer get wildcard weekend off, they would play the #7 team. 3 Wildcard games on Saturday, and another 3 on Sunday? I could get behind that idea. - Greg Robinson, LT, who was a Cleveland Brown last season, just got busted transporting 157 lbs. of marijuana. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN POUNDS. I am gonna go out on a limb here, and say that's not just for uh...personal use. I mean seriously dude. What the hell? - There are grumblings that Joe Burrow might not want to be drafted by Cincinnati at #1, despite being from Ohio. That he might pull something along the lines of John Elway or Eli Manning. The Bengals draft #1, but Burrow has "leverage". Not sure exactly what that means, but imagine if the Bengals take the threat seriously, and take Tua #1 instead? How many offers would the Redskins then get from teams desperate to trade up to #2 to get Burrow? (That would increase the chances my Lions get Chase Young!!! WOOHOO!!!) - Multiple Pro Bowl selection former Panthers TE Greg Olsen is now a Seattle Seahawk. - 4x Pro Bowl pass rusher Everson Griffen has opted out of his contract with the Vikings, and is now a FA. - Patriots super fan Ben Affleck claims that friend Tom Brady won't even tell him what his offseason intentions really are...Brady likely doesn't realize that Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!
