When the NFL and its players association resume contract talks, extending the league's regular-season will be part of the discussion.

Commissioner Roger Goodell is talking about a 17- or 18-game schedule once again, with the likely trade-off for a longer regular season being a shorter preseason.

Goodell says he hears ``from players and fans that the quality of our preseason is not up to NFL standards.''

The NFL currently plays a 16-game regular season.
