The Executive Director of the NFL player of the Lloyd Howell changed the melody. Wisely.
Last year, Howell said that about the possibility of spreading on the regular season 18 games: “Sounds attractive. Who doesn’t want to see more football, including alone?“
Howell gave it clearly on Wednesday that he didn’t want to see more football. “Currently when I talked to the players over the last two seasons, No one wants to play 18. game“Howell said at the annual NFLP journalists.” Nobody. 17 games, for many guys, is too long. “
Obviously, two statements do not grab. It is impossible to reconcile the inhalancing about more football since last year with hard that, over two seasons, no player wants to add another game.
Still, it wasn’t a mistake. It was a strategic turnaround. It is the realization that will receive the best possible agreement for the advertising of another regular season of the game, the Union’s message must be far closer “never” nothing “than” everything. “
Thus collective bargaining works, especially if the NFL wants to agree to add the game before the current CBA and the owners are threatened to prohibit “Uncle” to expand. (And owners certainly believe he will.)
Howell’s Shift has come the day after Commissioner Roger Goodell attempted to fall The wish of the league to add another match before. No matter we reported that the NFL has “Laser Focus“To reach an agreement to add another match by the end of the year. And if it becomes part of the CBA negotiations so that we are.
The CBA can be expanded or rewritten at any time. For now, the League has strategically created the impression that it is not in a hurry, even if it is. And Union strategically created the impression that he did not want 18 games, even if he will eventually be received.
Everything is related to the postal offer. At some point will be 18 games. Questions are this: (1) when will it start?; and (2) How much will the league give up from the additional match?
