If they do it, and they shouldn't, it will probably be a road trip where a team plays back to back weekends or some combination in Europe.

To be clear, I am NOT advocating for expansion OR this idea, I’m against both, but I don’t think it’s necessarily required that a second 4 team expansion is required to balance the AFC and NFC if teams are added in Europe.
Existing 32 + 4 = 36. Two 18 team conferences. Three 6 team divisions per conference. Getting to a logical/repeatable pattern of 17 games in that format is a bit challenging. Realignment also means that multiple teams lose traditional rivals. Two or more US teams also get stuck with European ones immediately hurting their value (how do you obligate/incentivize). |

They are going to ruin the game but I think most of us saw this coming.

The tax rate is considerably higher in most European countries. The players won't love that. Free agents will be less likely to sign there.

This is our system. You have to take the good with the bad. Someone wants to get rich, start Apple in their parents garage is a part of the greed. Multi-Billionaires like being billionaires and the power it brings. That drive that got them there in the first place is probably still there.

was considering the suggested 8 team expansion and 18 game season... with all the travel, maybe your backups would play more often like in baseball or basketball. Essentially a pitch count to avoid injuries, which would make positions like backup QB more important. That could actually make the game more interesting from a team building standpoint.

We really need to up the season to 30 games while we are at it
![]() Just start a European league with 16 teams and the Super Bowl champ plays their champ for the world bowl. But other than preseason we never play them.

The NBA is definitely the best model of this. They’ve done an amazing job at bringing an international audience. Other leagues have been way more creative about attracting an international audience and they’re doing it without ****ing with nfl competitive scheduling |
