Alvin Kamara is keeping it simple.

The Saints' Pro-Bowl running back, with a simple, four-word tweet, offered one the most blunt opinions when it came to news that NFL owners will vote to expand the regular season to 17 games during league meetings this week.

"S— dumb... as hell..," Kamara tweeted Sunday.

Kamara received a fair amount of hate for his stance on the schedule, with Twitter users laying into him very, very hard.

NFL owners are expected to vote to expand the regular season to 17 games this week, a decision that can be unilaterally imposed in return for CBA concessions last year.

Veteran players in the NFL were upset with others folding on the CBA last year, with former running back Thomas Jones calling players who didn't vote "dumbasses."

The NFL is expected to knock one game off of the preseason in order to accomodate the 17-game season, making for a 20-week season altogether.
