Why did the NFL wait so long to have interleague games after the 1966 merger announcement? When the AFL and NFL decided to merge in 1966, why did they agree to keep the game schedules separate for the next 4 years? The likely reason is a transitional period was necessary to best workout the details in a major merger agreement – on the field and off the field. Both leagues had separate TV contracts that needed to expire before a unified television package could be negotiated for the entire league. Additionally, there were logistics regarding the common draft and expansion teams like New Orleans and Cincinnati that were already in motion. Pete Rozelle and the owners knew that a slow integration would be more stable for the business of the sport than an overnight overhaul. It allowed the AFL to continue building its Dallas Cowboys Make Dallas Grateful Again Skull NFL T Shirt and talent pool until it was officially equal in the eyes of the public, which arguably didn’t happen until the Jets won Super Bowl III.

With George Pickens getting the franchise tag in Dallas, Alec Pierce is the top receiver available, and his contract figures to be eye-popping. While Pierce has never topped 47 catches in a season, he’s a big play waiting to happen: Over the past two years, Pierce leads the NFL in yards per reception (21.8) and receptions of 40+ yards (12). The largest contract ever signed by a free-agent receiver was Calvin Ridley’s four-year, $92 million deal with the Titans two years ago. The guess here is Pierce blows past that and gets $27 million or more per season. Another name to watch is John Franklin-Myers, who is by far the top D-lineman available in free agency. He had 7.5 sacks last season; only Dallas Cowboys Make Dallas Grateful Again Skull NFL T Shirt and Brandon Dorlus had more among defensive tackles. Look for Franklin-Myers’ contract to top the $20 million-per-year mark.

The owners want it for sure; more money. They’d get that extra home game EVERY season instead of every other season. But the owners aren’t truly willing to give up what it might take to get that extra game, in terms of more money for players and an expanded roster, meaning they’d have to pay more players as well. The player’s association has ZERO appetite for an 18th game. Their members, the players, are not at all interested in an 18th game. So the concessions to get to that point would have to be massive for the players. According to what I saw on the crawl on ESPN yesterday, the NFLPA said no, they’re not going for 18 games. Adding another game, making it 18 per year, is not without critics. To force it on the players union may lead to at least talk or Dallas Cowboys Make Dallas Grateful Again Skull NFL T Shirt about a strike. The best way to avoid a strike is to add a 2nd bye week.
