\"NFL_Draft\"<\/a>Two interesting changes that are being discussed involve expanding the playoffs to 14 teams and expanding the draft to include a 4th day. \u00a0For some draft junkies, three days isn’t enough. That one seems excessive but here are some more details.<\/p>\n

Roger Goodell: Owners to talk playoff expansion in May<\/h2>\n

The door remains ajar for playoff expansion to 14 teams this season.<\/p>\n

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday that owners would discuss expanded playoffs at the Spring League Meeting in Atlanta on May 20.<\/p>\n

According to Newsday’s Bob Glauber, Goodell said it is possible owners could approve expanding playoffs\u00a0as early as this season. If no vote is taken at that meeting, it won’t happen this year.<\/p>\n

Aside from the owners’ approval, the players’ union\u00a0must also approve\u00a0playoff expansion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not sure if this will pass for this season, but anything that brings in more money will eventually pass. So plan on seeing a larger playoff pool in future seasons.<\/p>\n
