Yes, Its a reach, but after listening to CBS Pregame show’s resident GM analyst Charley Casserly, it sounds like its going to happen.
He reports the NFL is looking to expand the International Series from one game per year to 2, 3, or even 4 games per year.
He also reports as additional incentive, the League would give to any team that goes to London and gives up a Home game 3 years in a row, would receive 1 million dollars!
For Each Game!
With the Bucs playing their second game this season, the financial incentive to play their again next year would be too much for anyone to pass up.
Especially considering it expands the franchise’s standing in the NFL community, gives world wide exposure, and not only that, but with blackouts, thats one more game that gets on TV to your audience. This year 2 home games could be on TV, Tonights Indianapolis game, and the Dallas Cowboys game later on in the year, also on National TV.
Given this desire to expand the product, expect the Bucs to accept an HBO Hard Knocks invitation if its given in 2012 too.
