If history is a guide, the NFL is on the right track to extend its regular season to 18 games but Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Monday that nothing is imminent and that the league will be very deliberate to make this decision.
During his annual NFL state press conference, Goodell said he had informal conversations on the subject with Lloyd Howell Jr., Executive Director of the NFL Players Assn., But there is “many work to do ”.
Before the 2021 season, the League added a 17th match and reduced the pre-season of four games to three. Goodell has increased the possibility of possibly adding an 18th regular season game and spending two pre-season games.
“We know fans love football and they want more football,” he said. “But we must be incredibly sensitive and intelligent with balance and how we manage this.”
Goodell also kept the notion of having a franchise beyond American borders.
“I think there is potential that one day, we will have an international franchise,” he said. “We like that, being here in New Orleans, it is a great thing for the Saints of New Orleans … To have the attention of the world. I think the same would be true for an international franchise. »»
