NFLPA Executive Director Lloyd Howell: No player I spoke with 18 games

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell discussed the expansion of the NFL’s regular season in 18 games at multiple circumstances, and the NFL Association had the opportunity to answer the New Orleans on Wednesday.

In its introductory commentary at the press conference, the CEO of NFLPA LLOYD Howell Reference comments Goedell made improvements in the security of the player to expand to the ability to expand. Austin said “We are not sure how to bring that conclusion based on the data we received” and told “the players feel the physical tombstar” from 16 to 17 games.

Austin noted that the length of the season was agreed with the CBA and that there were only informal talks on the opening of negotiations before the current collective bargaining in 2030. years.

“Their side did not raise it, we certainly didn’t lift it…. Every comment outside of formal negotiations is just a comment,” Howell said. “These are the decision on players about what will agree to work or not. At the moment I talked to players during the last two seasons, no one wants to play 18. Nobody. 17 games, for many guys, for many guys.”

Everything that is said, probably there are concessions, the league can do to get an agreement in leaving 18 games. Neither Austin nor one of the players attend details about what would be willing to negotiate, but Austin mentioned questions like time to recover, numerous weeks, international games and the size of the Roster.

“Then we come to the economy,” Howell said. “If I ask my workforce to work anymore, it is not as simple as I will return to the divided income that already exists…. There are so many dimensions held in the length of the season.”

It is unclear if formal calling talks would begin 18. matches, but the union asked a lot of things that needed to talk before nothing happens.
