The NFL is all in on the 18 game season.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Goodell and the rest of the owners are actually seriously considering an 18-game and have proposed the idea to the NFL Players Association.
However players wouldn’t be expected to play in all 18 games. They would put a limit on how many games each individual player can participate in.
Based on the current proposal, there would be a 16-game limit per player which means teams would have to pick and choose which two games they want to sit players.
The idea has been percolating for years; finally, the NFL has proposed to the NFLPA the idea of an 18-game season with a 16-games-per-player limit https://t.co/uuACShJr47

The thinking is this new proposal will actually help the players because they will be able to get larger contracts from the increase in revenue while not having to worry about an uptick in injuries.
It sounds like a good idea on paper, but not in reality.
When do you decide to sit your starting QB?
