Jones said an additional bye week would be considered with a larger schedule.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell talked about an 18-game schedule earlier this year.
He said taking away preseason games could help solidify that plan.
I think were good at 17 now, Goodell said onThe Pat McAfee Show.
But listen, were looking at how we continue.
Im not a fan of the preseason.
The reality is, Id rather replace a preseason game with a regular-season game any day.
Thats just picking quality.
