Have any of these guys given any thought to, ya know, not playing all 17 games?

They can take games off - which will cause a need for more players.

So - maybe negotiate an increase to roster sizes to accommodate more players.

Then, they can take rest during the season AND have more guys employed.

Last season I took all 16 games off. I don't recommend it. -- nm - crash davis Mar 10, 12:08 11
- More seriously, how do you think fans would react to players taking a personal day? -- nm - crash davis Mar 10, 12:09 10
  - I highly encourage all players that I don't draft on my Fantasy team to take personal days. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 10, 12:43 1
    - I'd get behind this if Bacon didn't draft Seahawks just to piss me off. -- nm - crash davis Mar 10, 12:50
  - I'd assume they'd freak out if a player missed 6% of their work days just because -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 12:21 3
    - I think the freakout would be horrific if the backup got burned badly and the team lost -- nm - crash davis Mar 10, 12:23 2
      - I'm a DC fan. We're used to the starters getting burned and often times, wished they'd take days off. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 12:43 1
        
        Well, I hope one day your team trades its starting owner. -- nm - crash davis Mar 10, 12:56
  - I don't know...all the other sports do it. nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 10, 12:12 1
    - It is necessary in a 162 game season. The NBA? What do you expect from a no contact sport. The NHL? Irrelevant until there is a Seattle franchise. - crash davis Mar 10, 12:14
  - NBA players seem to do it every 4th or 5th game now -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 12:11 1
    - They play 82 and fans aren't happy if a visiting team rests their stars -- nm - Krusty Mar 10, 12:12
