The Continuing NFL Thread..

Might as well start off a new thread as the NFL is expected to expand the regular season schedule this week to 17 games after last season's experimental 17 game season..
The league has played a 16-game regular season schedule since 1978

You may want to check but I believe the 2020 regular season was 16 still games.

Nope. It had 17 https://www.nfl.com/scores/2020/REG17
Each team had a bye playing 16 regular season games

[Andy Taylor]

Correct.  It was a 16 game season unlike your statement of:

"Might as well start off a new thread as the NFL is expected to expand the regular season schedule this week to 17 games after last season's experimental 17 game season"

Last season consisted of 16 games over 17 weeks for each team.

The Panthers had been strong suitors for Texans QB Deshaun Watson but we all know the drama he's got going on currently so they pivot to Jets QB Sam Darnold, who now becomes their presumptive starter.

The Patriots have terminated the contract of WR Julian Edelman, per the wire.
He's listed as a failed physical.

That's it?! a 6th round pick and the Panthers will be paying him $7M, while the Broncos will pay $3M
