NFL, Team Owners Respond to Aaron Rodgers' International Games Plan
The NFL and team owners don't seem to support the international games plan Aaron Rodgers recently revealed.
NFL management and team owners show no interest in Aaron Rodgers' proposal to group all international games within a single week, according to sources familiar with the league's collective bargaining process. Rodgers suggested this arrangement during a Sunday interview following a game in France, claiming it would have been "phenomenal for the game."
However, sources assert that the idea was never broached during the 2020 labor negotiations that resulted in the current CBA. "You'd be competing against yourself" by cramming all international games into one week, a source familiar with the process told Front Office Sports. The NFL plans to hold nine international games this season, spread across nine different weeks, but Rodgers' concept of consolidating them into one week remains unsupported by league leadership.
