The NFL Players Association is considering a proposal that could end Spring Football practices and shift on-field work to late June-early July. Owners are pushing for 18 games, while players seek more offseason time. Negotiations are ongoing, with concerns raised about the impact on families and staff.

The NFLPA is obviously a joke but there's no way they're trading the 18th game for re-scheduling offseason workouts, right? RIGHT?!?! https://t.co/VY2jwgVSQ4

Potential change to NFL calendar could negatively impact staffs, families https://t.co/k6oKYI3ZcO
A working draft of an NFL Players Association proposal to the league could effectively end Spring Football practices and move onfield work to late June-early July. Good for vets, maybe not too good for rookies and teams undergoing changes. Details: https://t.co/X4LbqskRMK
The owners say they want 18 games. The players say they want more time away in the offseason. You can see where this is going. The only issue is that the players will not get a higher take of the gross in the process when they could get BOTH time off AND a higher take. https://t.co/lsmO2iGW7L
Let’s go with this. Let’s assume this comes with 18 games + 2 preseason games. You report for “camp” June 15th ish and now it’s July 31st … you’ve had weeks straight of “camp” and haven’t even hit anyone yet. And still have weeks till your first preseason game. Cool. Sounds… https://t.co/EHueMaW2dc
This is going to suck for coaches/personnel departments. The break in the NFL calendar married up well with end of school year, which allowed families to have quality time together. Getting your break while school is still in session would be a bummer. https://t.co/DThRp72c0y
Owners will get 18 games. That’s a lock. They’re going to have to give up a ton to get there. Negotiations. https://t.co/VKve6Rsp2L
Won’t have a strong opinion on this until I learn how it impacts my annual July vacation. But if this is part of an exchange for an 18th game, the PA needs to get much more in return https://t.co/T1DixqhH7a
