NFL still not happy with preseason games | ProFootballTalk
In our view, this is about coming up with a path to an expanded regular season, which the players and many fans and media members have resisted. The NFL needs the players to want more regular-season games. That likely won’t happen until the league exercises its right under the labor deal to cut the preseason in half, which could then get the union to run the numbers regarding the impact of a reduced preseason on the shared revenues and volunteer swapping two weeks of far more lucrative games (especially from a TV standpoint) for half of the games that don’t count.
