NFL Proposal Divides Big Names And No-Names, Columnist Writes

NFL Proposal Divides Big Names And No-Names, Columnist Writes RACHEL MARTIN, HOST: If you love something, more of it is good, right? NFL players are getting ready to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement that would extend their regular season by one more game - so total, 17. If you're a player who might only last three years and you could collect an extra $300,000 over two years, that's an enormous incentive to, you know, really get on board with this deal. BELL: Yeah, I think there's a chance that this could end in a lockout because if you go back to the bargaining table, one, you're going to have a new NFL Players Association president, and a couple of the players who have been mentioned as potential presidents, both of them have come out and been adamant about no 17 games.
