some nfl owners want a 18 game season
That’s always been the end goal. It’s just a matter of when and how they get there.
It’s a scare tactic to get players into agreeing to the deal offered, but I also totally believe that it’s true that they want 18 games if they could put it in this CBA. The players can say they won’t do it, but if the money is good they will.

Minus well, the players would give in regardless
They all will give in if the money is right. Even Sherman (who has been the most vocal) has told everyone that.

nikkas bargained them with weed and these stupid motherfukkers gonna take the bait
I read the owners want this CBA to fail so they can lock the players out next year and push through an 18 game season
That's what they want you and the players to read.. The classic scare them into this deal because the next one will be worse.
Some NFLPA members have sharply different interests - ProFootballTalk
A unbiased opinion from Nate Solder who has actually benefited from multiple NFL contracts.

The deal actually isn’t that bad depending on who you talk to. That’s why I wish more players were open about it rather than the stars whose voices are the loudest.
The next one will be worse though
The owners know the players will always fold
I thought they were going to wait on the next CBA to do 18 games rather than trying to force the issue now if the players say no.

Everyone knows the NFL is going to 18 games. The owners know it, the players know it, the TV networks know it. It might not be this CBA but it's going to be done in the next one if not. I guess some of them feel, hey, why do a half-measure and go to 17. Lock the players out, break them, get your 18 game season

They should go ahead and offer the players enough to do 18 and get it over with. As long as the money is good and other concessions are made, the players will say yes and they know they will.
QB salaries keep going up while other positions stay relatively the same, players aren’t turning down that money if offered.
The owners are very clever with the way the CBA has been constructed. 90% of the members in the NFLPA aren't going to care about the franchise tag stuff and things that will only ever apply to the elite FA/superstar level players. By giving the guys making minimum 20% raises and giving in on generally insignificant details like being able to smoke weed, they'll get this CBA passed because they know there are way more rank-and-file members of the NFLPA who stand to sit better with the proposed CBA than the superstars that will get burned.
