When asked about playing more games overseas, Mark Murphy says that a 17-game regular season could facilitate more international play in the future.

The Green Bay Packers CEO says that such an expansion would have each team play eight games at home, eight on the road and one outside the United States.

"As you look ahead, if we're going to have more and more international games, something's got to give at some point," Murphy said. "One thought that's been discussed is to go to 17 [regular-season games] and three [preseason] and then everybody would have an international game. So nobody would have to give up a home game then."

NFL players have largely opposed the possibility of making the regular season longer, and the owners can’t expand the regular season without the approval of the NFL Players Association.

The Green Bay Packers finished the 2015 fiscal year with a franchise-record $48.9 million profit, including $222.6 million in national revenue.

"Obviously, the continued [on-field] success -- the consistent success -- has been helpful for us, as well as the popularity of not only the Packers but the league over the long period of time," team president and CEO Mark Murphy said.

All 32 teams saw a significant spike in their shared national revenues a year ago, when the league's lucrative new television contracts kicked in.

The Packers finished the 2014 fiscal year with $29.2 million in profit.

Julius Peppers, Clay Matthews and James Harrison will be interviewed by the NFL after they were named in an Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance-enhancing drugs, according to a letter obtained by ESPN.

Adolpho Birch, NFL senior vice president of labor policy and league affairs, wrote that the league will meet with the three players at the start of training camp. The Packers open camp July 26, and the Steelers begin training camp July 29.

The NFL wrote that it has attempted since early April to schedule interviews with the players, saying delays by the NFL Players Association have "obstructed our ability to conduct and conclude the investigation." The league said it first notified the players about the investigation in January.

Mike McCarthy has dropped several hints that the Green Bay Packers might elect to go for two as opposed to kick an extra point more often this season.

"Just because of the way we're built ... and the volume of [offensive plays] which you would need to go the entire course of the year, I'm comfortable that we could attain that very easily," McCarthy told ESPN. "But I think you have to look at the whole picture, too."

The topic has come to the forefront because Ben Roethlisberger said earlier this week that he'd like the Pittsburgh Steelers to go for two after every touchdown.

The San Francisco 49ers chose between Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers with the first overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft.

John Schneider was a personnel analyst with the Green Bay Packers at the time and they thought there was no chance of Rodgers being available with the 24th overall pick until they saw a mock draft suggest he could unexpectedly slide.

"I think it was the Thursday before the draft started, Ted and I were sitting there watching film and we had a TV on and Mike Mayock was going through a mock draft. And he had Aaron -- because it was like if you got past 12 or 14, right in there, all those teams in there had quarterbacks.

"So we looked at each other like, 'That could happen."

"We literally went and pulled all the [Rodgers] tape we possibly could and sat there and went through it again. Because sometimes when you're picking [later in the round] you don't spend as much time with those players that you expect to be gone.

"So we had to review everything, go back through his character. And once [San Francisco] took Alex and [Rodgers] started falling, that's when I was on the horn with Scot [McLoughlan] and Mike McCarthy because of those guys had spent so much time with both of them.

"After we picked him, everybody was really excited and [Packers President] Bob Harlan came up to me and said, 'This guy's going to be a good player, right John?'

"I was like, "Yeah, Bob! He's going to be a great player.'"

"And his first minicamp was something to behold, man. He was unbelievable in his first camp."

Aaron Rodgers has decided to eliminate diary products from his diet.

Rodgers, who had knee surgery in January, has followed "more of a vegan diet with some red meat at times and some chicken." The Green Bay Packers quarterback said he has tried to stick more to fruits and vegetables -- "mostly vegetables," he said.

"I just wanted to get healthier," the 32-year-old said. "I've done a lot of research and talked with Adam Korzun, our [team] nutritionist, and some other friends around the league about how I can extend my career and how I can be and feel healthier."

Rodgers said he's at his lowest weight -- "218-ish" pounds -- since 2007.

"I came in at 216.9, and I'm as light as I've been since that year," Rodgers said. "I would like play between 218 and 220. I think that's how I can extend my career if I can eat a little bit better. Because it carries over not just in the offseason, but what you're eating the night before the game and what you're eating in the morning and the afternoon -- if it's a night game -- just how that it affects your performance."

At his heaviest weight, Rodgers said he was around 230 pounds.

Clay Matthews will move back to his natural position of outside linebacker.

Matthews moved to the inside last season for the Green Bay Packers.

"As I've continued to say, I think (outside linebacker) is my most natural position, my most impactful position, and I think we'll see that on a more consistent basis this season," Matthews said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"Only time will tell on those things," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "You never really know until you get into playing games, and you have the pads on. So many times guys will look one way in OTAs, and then you get into the preseason and it's a different game when you've got the pads on, you're going full go and that type of thing.

"I think we've got some young guys there that are going to be ascending. We've just got to evaluate how much progress they make."
