Just a little over three years after the NFL instituted a 17-game regular season schedule, there’s been plenty of talk about adding an 18th game in the future.

NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell pushed back on an 18-game regular season Wednesday even though NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has openly talked about it as if it’s inevitable.

As Florio notes, the league’s current Collective Bargaining Agreement lasts through the 2030 season, and it’s believed an 18-game schedule could be apart of the next CBA. When the two sides last agreed on a new CBA in 2020, they expanded the regular-season schedule to 17 games.
