NFL execs call Rodgers' global game plan 'nonsensical'
30 Oct
Summary
- Rodgers proposed all NFL international games occur in one week.
- NFL executives dismissed the idea as 'nonsensical' and competing.
- Current CBA limits international games, with plans to add more.
Aaron Rodgers' recent suggestion to schedule all NFL international games within a single week was quickly dismissed by league executives. Sources described the proposal as a "nonsensical concept" that would force games to compete against each other.
Rodgers, a quarterback for the Steelers, had envisioned this as a unique opportunity for game expansion, potentially allowing for an extra bye week. However, NFL executives and team owners reportedly showed no interest in the plan. This idea reportedly lacked any basis in the league's collective bargaining discussions.
The current collective bargaining agreement limits the number of international games, though the NFL is considering an expansion to ten games, the maximum allowed. This contrasts sharply with Rodgers' concept of a dedicated international week.
