Parsons was at an event where he was asked about the possibility of the NFL having an international team.\u00a0Responding to this, the Packers star agreed to the proposal before detailing how such a team could work in the modern NFL.<\/p>\n
\u201cI almost think we should create an international team,\u201d Micah Parsons shared this strong message for the league, as per Front Office Sports. \u201cI know it\u2019d be uneven in divisions, but I look at it like, make it like the Notre Dame of the NFL. Yeah, really. I\u2019ll be the first one on board to go over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be the first one on board to go over.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/ziaLM2w1NP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Front Office Sports (@FOS) February 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parsons was asked this question as the NFL has been pushing for the international growth of the sport by hosting a record-breaking seven regular-season games outside the U.S. Subsequently, the NFL has already committed to nine international games in 2026, with the league commissioner, Roger Goodell, expressing interest in increasing that number to 16.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Goodell addressed the possibility of international expansion of the league, with teams representing cities outside the USA.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prefer Us on Google \u201cI think at some point, if our international growth continues the way it is, I can see international growth on an international basis and in some of these markets, which they\u2019re undoubtedly even today,\u201d Goodell said during an interview with Scott Graham. \u201cI think there are cities out there that could support an NFL team, and we\u2019re at the early stages. So you know. I don\u2019t take international expansion off the table. I think it is very possible someday.\u201d<\/p>\n While Goodell\u2019s vision for the league may take more time to be executed, Micah Parsons has been making the most of his time. Despite being ruled out for the season after suffering a torn ACL late against the Denver Broncos<\/a>, the linebacker is already trying to help fulfill the Packers\u2019 dream of a perfect roster by making moves to improve the team.<\/p>\n Micah Parsons tries to recruit a star WR during the Pro Bowl<\/p>\n The NFL stars have often used the Pro Bowl to recruit top players to their teams ahead of the upcoming regular season. Over the last few years, tight end Kyle Pitts used the Pro Bowl to lure free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Atlanta Falcons, who eventually signed Cousins to a four-year contract in 2024. Continuing this tradition, Micah Parsons was allegedly trying to recruit wide receiver George Pickens during the recent NFL Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n Parsons\u2019 former teammate CeeDee Lamb revealed how the star linebacker was trying to lure Pickens to the Packers during his upcoming free agency in an appearance on the Up & Adams Show.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody in my face is trying to recruit him while I\u2019m standing right next to him,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cMicah, for one. Let\u2019s start with Micah\u2026 I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with him. He\u2019s too active to be on a scooter.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise that Parsons and the Packers are eyeing George Pickens, who is coming off a career year where he recorded 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. After a 9-7-1 finish, Green Bay will push to add another weapon for its offense, as its leading receiver, Romeo Doubs, is also a pending free agent.<\/p>\n Share this with a friend:<\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/mb-newsletter-line.png\")
