Tom Brady Reacts to NFL Proposal

On Wednesday, the NFL and the NFLPA held their first formal collective bargaining session since February. The session was almost exclusively devoted to the league's proposal to expand the regular season to 18 games. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reacted to the proposal through a statement from the NFLPA:

"I've taken part in several postseason runs where we have played 20 games. The long-term impact this game has on our bodies is well documented. Look no further than the players that came before we did. Each player today has to play three years in order to earn five years of post-career health care. Our Union has done a great job of raising the awareness on these issues and will make the right decision for us players, the game and the fans."
