It would be the equivalent of the other leagues' All Star break, and would eliminate the worthless early bye week that the Bengals got last season, and some other teams will have this season.
Staggering the bye week means every week there are NFL teams and games making money. Plus, a bye week can be useful at any point in the year depending on what is going on with the team. Perhaps the Bengals get a bye in week 4 and it seems too early but it turns out that's the week Dalton tweaked his butt muscle and needs an extra week to get back to normal. What a relief!
Anyways, a week during the season without football? Meh, we have that and it's the week before the Super Bowl and everyone kinda hates it.
