The NFL is pushing harder than ever to expand its global footprint, ramping up international games with the long-term goal of every team playing abroad once a year. While the league sees growth and revenue, not everyone is on board—especially players whose routines are disrupted in the process.
Darius Slay has played in his fair share of international games, including a trip to Brazil to open the 2024 season with the Philadelphia Eagles. You can count him among the players unenthused by the extra travel.
“I’m not really a big fan of going out the country too much for football, but it is always good to show them American football,” Slay said via Cassidy Wood on X.
