If playing only 7-8 days consecutively rather than 10-11 can prevent even one injury per team then I'm sure the union/players would take it. Also they would have to take less money but when the average salary is $4.2 million going down 5% or 200,000 on average won't mean much

The counterpoint would be that since only 40 out of roughly 1200 players in the union even played 155+ games last year, why would the other 1160 players forego 5% of their annual earnings?
As it stands, 96% of the union is playing 154 games or less and still getting their full earnings. Why would they agree to a change?
