No discussion for the NFL season at 18 games

The NFL season has 18 games is not for now!

According to the Washington Postthe NFLPA (Association of Players) decided not to discuss the subject of the extension of the season to 18 games before spring 2026, as soon as possible. A little surprise therefore since the echoes mentioned discussions on the subject this summer. You may have to see one of the first consequences linked to the publication, by ProfootBallTalk, of a report on a possible collusion between NFL and owners against the players.

At the date, the NFLPA is rather against the idea of a regular season at 18 games as recalled by Lloyd Howell (Executive Director) last February.

“It is up to players to decide. Currently, when I talk to players, none want a season at 18 games, none. 17 games are already too long for many of them. »»

Given the context, the NFLPA may well decide to make this subject its great battlefield to prove to players the usefulness of the union.

Joe Mixon settles his legal concerns

It took almost two years to Joe Mixon (RB, Texans) to find a way out at the trial opposing him to a young teenager concerning threats and shots around the player's property.

ProfootballTalk and WLWT report that the case has been closed for a few weeks. No details have been revealed, which often happens for a case deemed civilian and involving private parties. In all likelihood, Mixon (or his insurance) made a check for his accuser.

The player should therefore not be worried by the League for this case.

Taylor Moto wants to extend

Next month, Taylor Moto (RT, Panthers) will be 31 years old. If he enters his last year of contract, the player saw himself playing for a few more years for the Panthers.

“I think I still have” a contract “in me. But my focus is the 2025 season and make sure I do everything I can for us to have the best season possible. Explains Moto at Theathletic.com.

Last year, the player was not spared by physical seeds. A fact that could worry the team when offering him an extension. Moto sees things differently on its side.

“It's chronic. Most Linemen have that. The goal is to make sure to control this. Over time we learn to manage this. I have the feeling that I move like when I was young. »»

Drafted in 2017 by the Panthers and with 129 games on the clock, Moto wishes to obtain a last contract in its lifelong franchise.

McNeil alim back in the middle of the season

Injured in the cross ligaments last December, Alim McNeil (DT, Lions) will necessarily miss the start of the season. According to insiders close to the Lions, the player should return at the end of October or early November. Extended for 4 last October, McNeil's return will probably not be precipitated by the staff. While waiting for his return, the Lions will therefore have to replace him on the defensive line. With almost 70% of the Snaps played, McNeil occupied an important place in the defensive diagrams of the Lions. It is probably the Tyleik Williams rookie who will have this mission.
