The NFL can’t do this to its players or its fans.
The NFL made a big schedule change Wednesday at the owners meetings when it was announced that teams could play two Thursday night games per season, instead of the one game that was the previous limit.
A decision on one other possible major change—a proposal allowing Thursday Night Football games to be flexed—was pushed back until May, the league said.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not a fan about possibly playing two Thursday night games in a season, and neither was former NFL star J.J. Watt.

New England is reportedly going forward with Mac Jones in 2023.
The Patriots will not be pursuing Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson this offseason, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Lowe. The report comes off the heels of team owner Robert Kraft saying rapper Meek Mill texted him that Jackson was interested in joining New England on Monday. The rapper is a mutual friend.
Despite this and Jackson’s latest announcement that he requested to be traded on March 2, it doesn’t look like the Patriots are interested and will stick with Mac Jones next season.
The NFL commissioner stood by the league’s discussions regarding the potential for flex scheduling moving forward.
The NFL did not have enough support to approve a proposal for flex scheduling of Thursday Night Football games when it was taken to a vote on Tuesday, and will now reportedly try again in May, according to Sports Illustrated‘s Albert Breer.
The proposed rule from the league would provide the NFL the ability to flex late-season games from Sunday to Thursday with a 15-day notice for its Amazon streaming package.
Jim Irsay thinks giving up multiple first round picks for Lamar Jackson might be a bridge too far.
Lamar Jackson, who has asked Baltimore to dump him, is currently attempting to land himself a monster deal, and there’s speculation he wants something similar to Deshaun Watson’s fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract.
So far, the Ravens don’t seem eager to give it to him, and with him on a non-exclusive franchise tag, Jackson can test the market. If a team signs him and the Ravens don’t match, Baltimore will get two first round picks.
The Atlanta Falcons will sign defensive end Calais Campbell to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday, the latest move by the franchise to upgrade its defense.

The 15-year NFL veteran will play his 16th NFL season in Atlanta.
The Falcons are set to sign six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro defensive end Calais Campbell to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The 15-year NFL veteran will now play his 16th year in Atlanta and is poised to quickly emerge as a leader in the locker room while adding some production for the Falcons as another pass rusher.
Campbell, who turns 37 on Sept. 1, started 14 games for the Ravens last season and recorded 5.5 sacks, 36 total tackles and two forced fumbles.
