Aaron Rodgers advocated for the NFL to schedule a full week of international games and also took multiple swipes at team Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Aaron Rodgers called for the league to stage a full slate of games abroad in the same week. Speaking Sunday, he said owners offer lip service on player safety and joked they may be short on funds.

Why it matters: A full international week would be a major scheduling and logistical shift with competitive and commercial stakes. The criticism sharpens the long-running debate over safety spending, with the same Rodgers credited with the first touchdown passes in Ireland and France now pressing the league to go further abroad.

What to watch: Watch for response from the league and owners on future international scheduling. Rodgers' next availability will show whether he expands on the proposal.
