The NFL annual meeting was held earlier this week, and one of the talking points coming out was the league\u2019s intentions to move to an 18-game regular season. Among the people advocating for such a change was New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like it long term for the growth and development of the league, to keep our league healthy and grow revenue,\u201d Kraft said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think preseason games have not been what it used to be when we owned the team, and changing to 18 games and having that real content and being mindful of player safety \u2014 I personally would like to see us have a second bye week \u2014 but then it would allow us to also grow the game internationally. Every team in the league would play a game overseas. I think it would be a lot more exciting for the fans to have an extra game rather than the way our preseason games stack up.\u201d<\/p>\n
What do you think about the plan outlined by Kraft, though? Do fans truly want a move to an 18-game regular season?<\/p>\n
That is exactly what we want to know in this week\u2019s SB Nation Reacts survey. Make sure to participate in our poll, and to head down to the comment section to share and discuss your answers. As always, the results will be posted later this week.<\/p>\n
