NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Fewer front-liner players are seeing less preseason action than ever.
Mike Vrabel sat 40 healthy players in the Titans preseason finale Thursday night in Chicago.
From 49ers coach Matt Shanahan to Falcons owner Arthur Blank, the sentiment that the preseason is too long and too unnecessary is becoming more and more widespread.
But the fact is, shortening it will cost owners money, and they are not in the business of giving back money. Thus the constant buzz about an expanded regular season that would have to be negotiated as part of a new CBA, something the owners would like to have ironed out with the NFLPA before the Super Bowl.
