Back to EpisodesJerry Jones Backs 18-Game NFL Season, Players Union Balks
Description
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones supports an 18-game NFL season, citing fan demand and international growth. With nine international games planned for 2026, Commissioner Roger Goodell pushes global expansion. Owners like Robert Kraft back the idea, proposing a second bye week and eliminating preseason games. However, the players union opposes it due to safety concerns, as injuries spike for deep playoff teams. Talks intensify as the current deal expires in 2030, potentially leading to more games abroad and flag football in the 2028 Olympics.
