Word has been out about the NFL going to a 17-game regular season.
News of the change bubbled up Sunday when Adam Schefter tweeted it would become official at the owners’ virtual meetings March 30-31.
The change was not received well by New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara, who ripped it on Twitter.
“Expletive dumb… as hell,” was Kamara’s feeling about the extra game being added to the 2021 schedule.
Former WR Torrey Smith says the league is going to have to make adjustments and take precautions to help players remain healthy under the longer season.
17 games in the NFL is great for 💰 but they are going to have to adjust practices and what a regular offseason looks like. Dudes were already falling apart playing 16. As a whole this is great but adjustments have to be made.
