Sure, but that doesn't change the math balancing act between veteran players and new guys regarding compensation and competition.



I didn't respond to that argument yet, I was just stating that point was incorrect.

The easy counter argument to make is how many vets on their last legs would be saved by additional spots?

I agree that players overall will want more spots. But that isn't a mutually exclusive situation. These are all competing interests.

A player who is a veteran would want camp rosters to go from 90 to 60 to increase his odds of making the 53 again.

A player who didn't make the 53 would want that raised to 55.

The Union would want the rosters to increase to increase bargaining power against the NFL, to increase salary.

But the Union would also probably be AGAINST adding 10 teams and having to split revenue among more players, lowering compensation.

You don't have to be all in on one factor.
