Roger Goodell: Europe Can Support Multiple NFL Franchises, Discusses 4-Team Division
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell hinted Saturday the league will consider a four-team European division in the future, saying it would be "easier" than putting a single franchise overseas.
Goodell discussed the potential expansion ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
"There's no question that London could support not just one franchise, I think two franchises," he told reporters. "I really believe that."
The longtime commissioner then affirmed the league is considering various alternatives, including adding several Europe-based teams.
"That's part of what we're doing, right?" Goodell said. "We're trying to sort of see, could you have multiple locations in Europe where you could have an NFL franchise? Because it would be easier as a division."
