Team doctors have already shown to side too much with the team (Williams in DC comes to mind quickly)

But I agree, they should do something about it.
Let them smoke pot (if medically prescribed), extend season to 17 games, give them another whatever% of money, fully guarantee contracts, protect teams from crybabies.

Whether these things actually get done remains to be seen but the NFL will have to give big if they want 17 games and want protections from players forcing trades.
Currently they have the whole "conduct detrimental" thing but it's pretty vague and becomes a fight all its own and then the team would have to prove the injury is fake or whatever.

I'm glad I don't have to figure it out.

They can already smoke pot all year. All they have to do is stop for a few weeks during the 1 time a year they are tested. Only stupid addicts are failing drug tests now.
