Saints players complain about 17 game schedule

I'm not sure why they're complaining. The measure was voted on and approved BY THE PLAYERS UNION last year.

The league was down in 2020 but every player got paid in full.

Flip side of the coin: I'd like to see the players get another bye week + allow for medical marijuana and/or CBD treatment.

I think a second bye week is probable when they future cut preseason games to two. The extra bye week will give the league an extra week of games. 17 games with two bye weeks mean 19 weeks of regular season football revenues and they are only playing the players for 17 of those weeks.
