The NFL appears to be moving quickly toward an 18-game regular season, but not all league owners are on board.
\"I can\'t say I\'m necessarily crazy about extending the season,\" New York Giants owner John Mara said. \"I worry more about player fatigue and wear and tear on the players moving forward. That\'s one of the reasons why we have to have the discussion with (the players union).\"
Mara\'s comments came about the same time Roger Goodell discussed the possibility of an 18-game slate.
Goodell said that expanding the season to 18 games is not currently an active discussion while adding that the league is thinking about it in a \"long-range context.\" Goodell, as he did in April, reiterated that a longer regular season would result in a reduced preseason.
\"We think that\'s a good trade,\" Goodell said.
