Supposedly, the NFL actually considered a proposal to add a 17th game to the schedule but only allow each player to dress for 16 of them. It was dropped from consideration because it would have been a roster management nightmare.
From what I'm hearing, the NFL's real goal here is to extend the season and the playoff long enough to get the Super Bowl played on the Sunday of President's Day weekend.

What would that buy them? Aside from better ad revenue for more games in a sweeps month, maybe?
This has got to mean that the NFL is hurting for revenue, though.

Which will effectively kill off the XFL and any future attempts to start rival Spring leagues.
