The NFL needs more money ya'll. So what if the players have to play two games a week? They get paid.

The thing is most players don't get paid extra for an extra game. I'm not sure but as I understand it each player will get their contract moneys but it will be paid out over 17 rather than 16 weeks. Am I right or is there more money with a 17th game? This looks like a win for future contracts and players not existing ones.

I heard when they first started talking about the possibility of expanding to 17 games that an extra game day check would be issued. So basically, their total base salary would increase by 1/17th.

Not sure if that's what they are actually going to do, however.
