Enhanced 18-2 season: What’s the status?

http://nfllabor.com/



As discussion continues both publicly and at the bargaining table, it is a good opportunity for a reminder that the status of the proposed 18-2 enhanced season format has not changed. It is still a concept under review among NFL clubs, the NFL Players Association, and NFL business partners. Following are Commissioner Roger Goodell’s comments on the enhanced season from his August 25 press conference following a league meeting in Atlanta. These comments continue to be accurate.

Commissioner Goodell: The most significant discussion of the day was the enhanced season and restructuring our season from 16 and 4 to 18 and 2. There was overwhelming support for the concept and that we want to continue to address a variety of issues. We are putting together a specific proposal, which the negotiating team will provide to the union’s negotiating team. There is tremendous support for it....

I dont understand how you can let it expire, its not like you don't know years in advance its coming up lets make some amendments and renew it... Im sure there is some political crap behind letting it expire etc but it just seems silly.

I have paid attention, but when you know years in advance you think before it expires it would be renew'ed/amended

The nfl actually opted out of the cba early because it was a bad deal for them, especially with the current economy.
