Aaron Rodgers Calls On NFL To Make ‘Mandate’ For International Games

Aaron Rodgers has urged the NFL to mandate that teams travel earlier for international games following the Pittsburgh Steelers' trip to Paris. Rodgers suggested franchises should arrive on Sunday or Monday prior to the contest to better acclimate, embrace the local culture, and conduct community outreach, though he joked the league might be too tight on money to fund it.

Writer Ross McCorkle argues that spending extra days abroad would significantly boost the NFL's global presence through meaningful fan interactions. While McCorkle notes Rodgers will likely not see this mandate implemented before concluding his international appearances, he believes the current quick-turnaround travel schedule hinders long-term international growth.
