Can you share some examples of where a NFL team clearly committed to this strategy? I can’t think of one. I think the league would frown on this too, as it devalues the games left on their schedule. I know TV and advertisers would be super pissed.
I think the NFLPA would push back, as it could impact players ability to earn bonuses, and take away opportunities for them to rack up stats - that can further their career.
