Kamara calls NFL's reported move to 17-game schedule 'dumb as hell'

Alvin Kamara certainly doesn't seem thrilled with the NFL's rumored change to a 17-game format.

The New Orleans Saints running back shared his feelings shortly after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the NFL was expected to finalize its new schedule this week.

The league and NFLPA agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement last year, which gave the NFL an option to expand the regular season by one game as early as 2021. The ruling to pass the CBA was contested among players but passed, with 1,019 players voting in favor while 959 voted against it.

Teams will still have just one bye week in the new schedule despite the added extra game. The NFL is also considering moving four of the new matchups to an overseas venue.

Kamara has emerged as one of the league's most dynamic running backs since being selected in the 2017 NFL Draft. The 25-year-old is a four-time Pro Bowler and has recorded 6,164 yards from scrimmage over four seasons.
