Do you think the NFL`s Pre-season is too long

Especially with the recent rash of season ending and major injuries to front-line starters, I thing they should make spring training no longer than two weeks . And they should only play 2 pre-season games to keep injuries at a minimum

Nowadays with so many OTA`S and minicamps, most players stay in decent shape year around. And the vets only need a few weeks to knock the rust off and be ready for the regular season.

With all the revenue generated from the preseason, they'd never reduce the number of games.

Once upon a time they played seven preseason games. The problem is the players today make too much money with big contracts. Years ago a guy would have to have a broken leg to be taken off the field and now a hangnail gives them three weeks off.

So to answer your question: NO. I don't think it is too long you just need men playing the game with incentives. Like one year contracts instead of an 8 year contract and a vacation home in Bora Bora

I think coaches need the time to evaluate and playes need time to earn a spot on the team. So no I do not think its too long.
