Aaron Rodgers claims 2020 CBA talks included possibility of a full week of international games

NBC Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played NFL games in multiple international locations, including England, Ireland, and France, highlighting his diverse playing experience abroad.
  • After the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Saints in Paris, Rodgers expressed support for a full international week featuring 16 games in 16 foreign locations, which was not included in the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
  • Rodgers believes an international week would benefit the game's expansion and culture, though he criticized the league for being financially cautious and not mandating teams to engage more deeply with host cities.
  • Despite Rodgers' enthusiasm, many players may oppose playing one annual game abroad, and logistical challenges make it unlikely all 16 international games would be scheduled in a single week.
  • The NFL is expected to increase international games in the future, but spreading them out across the season is more feasible than concentrating them into one week.
