2 preseason games and extra bye would be better. Everybody gets a bye in weeks 4-7 and a second in weeks 10-13. Breaks up the season better into four week stints.
Also, unless these talks have been going on in secret, I have a hard time believing this is going to be wrapped up "in a few weeks". Expanding the playoffs/more regular season games was s major point of contention between the NFL owners and the NFLPA that ultimately lead to the 2011 lockout.
Only one team getting a bye could be interesting. If a couple of years go by with the #1 seed consistently getting bounced, we may see teams "fighting" for the "2 slot" [emoji38]
