The proposal of a 17-game NFL regular season dates back to July of this year during sessions regarding the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. Owners, players and fans have all had contrasting views on the proposed expansion, which was initially for an 18-game season.
One of the important factors regarding the proposal sits with the potential of increasing the league's revenue if the regular season were to be longer. Contrasting this factor is maintaining the safety of the league's players. With the proposal, the longer regular season could also pose implications on the preseason and the playoff format. The league will have until the end of the 2020 season to make a final decision, which is when the current Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire.
