Ever since the NFL began taking games outside the United States, talk has gathered pace about a franchise being based overseas, but one NFL owner has now sensationally claimed an entire international division could be on the cards.
It's a sign of the league's growing appeal that this year five of the 17 weeks during the regular season will have an international game, so it wouldn't appear to represent a huge leap to think the next step would be a franchise based overseas.
Those suggestions have been quietened in recent years, but in a report published by Front Office Sports, one franchise owner went a step further by suggesting not just a club but a division could be based overseas.
