It's all about the revenue. The owners and players want it and they realize these games woyld be a hard sale wirh no vets playing at all. Plus the top players, like Brady, will want to get every possible snap they can.
I think the NFL does need preseason games, simply to see what they have on the roster. I don't believe the starters need to play, however. I also have never agreed with them charging full price for season ticket holders for these games when you can get them from stub hub and the like for 12 dollars. If I were Taylor, Burrow, both starting tackles, Mixon, Boyd, Higgins and Chase would probably not see the field until Minnesota. Nor would Reader or Ogunjobi. The few snaps they will get are just chances to get hurt for very little gain.
