Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says an NFL expansion team in Europe is, at best, a distant dream. He says he supports playing international games but highlights the practical and financial complexities of owning a franchise overseas.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has, in recent comments, expressed repeated confidence—saying he has “no doubt” the league will add multiple teams outside the United States. Yahoo Sports reports that Europe is viewed as the most likely destination, and it notes the frequency of Goodell’s remarks. Times of India similarly frames London as the frontrunner for any potential new team, while emphasizing that reaching agreement among all NFL owners would be difficult.
Together, the outlets describe a public contrast between Jones’s skepticism about the timeline and ownership realities, and Goodell’s more assertive stance on the long-term likelihood of cross-border expansion. Both acknowledge international games are already part of the NFL’s broader strategy, even as team ownership expansion remains uncertain.
