FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -Those wanting a longer NFL season will have to keep waiting for now.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday he doesn’t anticipate a vote at this week’s spring meeting in South Florida on extending the regular season to 17 or 18 games.
The NFL extended its television deals with Fox and CBS Tuesday for two years through the 2013 season. Goodell says there is flexibility in those agreements for more games. But the commissioner says no decision likely will be made until talks are held with players in the coming weeks and months.
Goodell has spoken of the need to replace preseason games in which few star players compete.
