An 18-game NFL season could be on the horizons in the near future. George Kittle recently gave his thoughts should that come to fruition.
It is something that commissioner Roger Goodell has hinted at this offseason. The NFL just went from 16 games to 17 three years ago. You would think that they would relax on wanting to increase the games in a season that quickly.
But what most likely is enticing Goodell, and possibly the owners, is the extra revenue. The NFL surely has cashed out immensely from having a 17-game season, so it wouldn't be surprising if they wanted to add another to earn more again. It is unclear when an 18-game NFL regular season can come about, but the players across the league have been getting asked their thoughts. On Wednesday,gave his thoughts on the NFL increasing the season by one more game.
"Well I've been saying forever that I think we need two Byes regardless," said Kittle. "I think it is an incredibly long season. An extra bye, all it does is add an extra week to the season, more t.v. deals, and stuff like that. More money on TV.
"I think if you don't add two Bye weeks you're gonna look at a lot of teams that are missing a lot of key players because I think it's hard for players to stay healthy that long. I also think eighteen games is aggressive.
