How would that benefit the league to pay similar salaries with half the amount of games played?
There are 23 weekends between the first weekend of April and Labour Day, sufficient time to get in a 16-game/17-week or 18-game/19-week season, plus four weeks of playoffs. I don't believe NFL PS games with projected starters playing only a bit would be a serious impediment to getting good crowds into U.S. stadiums for playoff football, and definitely not an issue in Canada.
