NFL expansion is gonna happen

That's just going to water down the product even further. not to mention a travel nightmare for all the teams affected.

Translation: each of the owners want an extra $600M.

Oh it's better than that...if you do that then that's an extra division which means...4 new teams stateside followed by realignment so there are 5 divisions on both sides.

If the league gets watered down, that means even more Super Bowl wins for the team with the best quarterback.

The end game is 40 teams and an 18 game schedule, they've been angling for this forever.

Ok. Lets start naming some teams

London Limeys
Berlin Battletoads

Those 4 teams are going to get sick of playing each other in a 16 week season

France Tuck and Runners

I've already seen people saying that draft picks will refuse to go there, no one will sign there etc etc..

I find it hard to believe that no NFL players at all would be interested in living in Europe.

No No

Paris Pussys

**** that imagine a 36 team draft. It spreads the talent out even further and adds 4 more Goff/Cousins turds to an already sliding product. Also Bill O'Brien, come on down.

A developmental league thats seasonal would make more sense. Let the undrafted, practice squad and tryout guys go play a summer league to try to get some film out.

I've been saying forever the end game is 40 teams.

If I was an NFL prospect, I would be thrilled at the prospect of living in Europe for a few years in my early 20s. Being drafted by the Paris Revolutionaries would be an amazing opportunity, especially if my other options were places like Detroit and Buffalo and Atlanta.

I wonder if there would be any visibility concerns for the big stars, though. Will American brands sign up the quarterback of the Rome franchise for their ads?
