2024 NFL Offseason Thread

As owners meetings concluded Tuesday in Orlando, the NFL said it will play a doubleheader on Christmas, despite the fact that it will fall on Wednesday this year. Here’s how it will work: On Saturday, Dec. 21, the league will play what is expected to be a tripleheader. Four of those teams will then play again (likely against new opponents) on Dec. 25, with the same amount of rest that Thursday Night Football participants typically get after a Sunday game. The NFL previously suggested it would probably not pursue Christmas games this year due to the midweek placement on the calendar, but it left open the possibility “if the broadcast partners are interested, if it fits in our overall strategy.”

NFLPA is grade A trash.

Unless the 6 teams that play on that Saturday, are gonna be the 4 teams that play on Christmas, that means 2 of the Christmas opponents will have played on Sunday or Monday. SMH

Unless those 2 teams are coming off a bye.
