The Kansas City Chiefs have been the poster child of the NFL for the last decade or so. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is one of the biggest reasons that Kansas City has had so much success.<\/p>\n

However, the future hall of fame quarterback isn\u2019t a big fan of one decision the league is making.<\/p>\n

According to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a regular in the postseason since entering the league,\u00a0adding\u00a0another game to the regular season isn\u2019t a good idea:<\/p>\n

\n

While commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL owners have discussed expanding the regular season to 18 games, the issue requires collective bargaining with players. Count Mahomes as a \u201cno\u201d if and when the time comes for players to weigh in on an official measure to again expand the regular season.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI always say the more games, it\u2019s a little bit more taxing on the guys that play the game,\u201d Mahomes said Friday in an interview with CNBC.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mahomes said the framework of potential proposals subtracting one or more weeks of preseason games and shortening player workout dates in the offseason might not be enough to sway his opinion. The league played a 16-game schedule when Mahomes was drafted and moved to 17 games in 2021. Goodell remarked at the NFL owners meetings that there is a logical next step to 18 games.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that you\u2019d have to find a way to have more bye weeks, more time spread out. I mean, you\u2019ve seen the amount of injuries that have kind of piled up there at the end of seasons and you want to have the best players playing in the biggest games,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cSo, if there were a way to get to 18 games, I\u2019m not a big fan of it. But if there were a way, I think you got to add some bye weeks in there to give more time for guys\u2019 bodies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell said negotiations toward an 18-game schedule are not happening anytime soon. Howell said in February that \u201cno one wants\u201d an 18th game.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The incentive for players would likely be sharing revenue in some form with the NFL media rights and broadcast agreements up for renegotiation before 2029 if the league opts out of its existing CBS-Paramount deal.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Goodell said this week at the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho that the NFL wasn\u2019t likely to end its partnership with CBS and Paramount.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe have a two-year period to make that decision. I don\u2019t see that happening, but we have that option,\u201d Goodell said.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
