For fun: NFL mega expansion


Just Jack

Recommended Posts

Scenario:  The NFL has decided they want one team in every state, and for some odd reason, decided you're the one to decide where they go.  Here's the criteria...

 

1) States that already have one team, will stay where they are.  Names could change to better reflect the state/city that they play in, example, New England Patriots could go back to using Boston Patriots.  Carolina Panthers will become North Carolina Panthers or Charlotte Panthers. 

 

2) States with multiple teams, will need to relocate teams to a state with no team, to get them down to one team remaining.  So, Florida with the Bucs, Jags, and Dolphins, two of those three teams will need to move. Teams that are moved, can keep their identity, like if you moved the Dolphins to Hawaii, they could stay as the Hawaiin Dolphins, or you could change their identity if you want. 

 

3) New teams will be named after the city/location they will play in or state name. So, a team in Idaho could be named either the Idaho Spuds or Boise Spuds.

 

4) No need to worry about divisions/conferences, that will all be figured out later. 

 

Here are your lists.

 

Teams that are staying put
Arizona - Arizona Cardinals
Colorado - Denver Broncos
Georgia - Atlanta Falcons
Illinois - Chicago Bears
Indiana - Indianapolis Colts
Louisiana - New Orleans Saints 
Massachusetts - New England Patriots (need to be renamed)
Michigan - Detroit Lions
Minnesota - Minnesota Vikings
Missouri - Kansas City Chiefs
Nevada - Las Vegas Raiders
New York - Buffalo Bills
North Carolina - Caroliina Panthers (need to be renamed)
Tennessee - Tennessee Titans
Washington - Seattle Seahawks 
Wisconsin - Green Bay Packers

 

States with teams that must relocate one or more teams.
California - Los Angelese Chargers, Los Angelese Rams, San Fransico 49ers 
Florida - Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins
Maryland - Baltimore Ravens, Washington Commanders
New Jersey - Giants, Jets (remaining team location must be renamed to reflect state or city)
Ohio - Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns
Pennsylvania - Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburg Steelers
Texas - Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans

 

States with no teams currently

Alabama
Alaska
Arkansas
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Maine
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Carolina

Vermont
Virginia

So how would you do it?  What teams would you relocate? What new teams would you come up with?

Cincinnati just builds a new stadium across the river. Problem solved. 

 

Dolphins to Alabama: Saban can coach them again. Alabama F-150s 

 

Jets go to Utah to keep Zach happy. Utah Cougars.

 

Chargers move to Connecticut. Still called the Chargers, but now they’re named after that plate that rich people put under their plate.

 

Jags to SD. Called the Dakota Frackers.

Chargers better to move to Hawaii.  Fits better in West.

Do I have to be the terrible person here in thinking that the Bills would not be the team to stay in NY? I firmly believe the Jets would end up being New Jersey and the Giants would end up being NY. They’d probably ship the Bills off to Alaska or something

Except the criteria was states with single teams stay

 

The bills are the only team in New York New Jersey has two

 

Hence Bill stay and New Jersey gets split

Can I relocate the Patriots to Nevada and build their new stadium in a nuclear test area?

No, because the Raiders are already in Nevada.

New Mexico would be more appropriate, and it doesn't have a team already. The "New Mexico Nukes" has a nice ring to it.

Idaho or Wyoming that has 500,000 people, or maybe London, Berlin, Bonn, and Madrid who so far in Germany there were 3,000,000 tickets requested within 24 hrs.  
 

They arent  placing teams in Midwest states over bajillions of dollars in europe.  Not happening.  New CBA, means new International division, and my guess is it’s already in the works.  Hawaii sounds interesting, but it’s as far from the east coast to europe.  Alabama is a college state.  I was with my rep a few years ago and he must’ve said Roll Tide 33 times in one day.  They don’t care about the NFL.

Like most action, sci-fi, and fantasy movies, this thread requires a healthy dose of something called "suspension of disbelief."

If it was any other organization, they would get radiation poisoning and die.  As it's the Patriots, they all become mutants with uncanny powers.  Belichick throws away binoculars and audio bugs; just reads the minds of opposing players and coaches. 🤨

Well, NM already has a AAA baseball tram called the Albuquerque Isotopes, so maybe the Albuquerque Atomics?

Dallas Cowboys to Wyoming of course, moving the Texans wouldn't make sense. = Wyoming Cowboys 🤠

 

Nah, move the Texans.  Nice to see Houston get f***** over twice.  See if they get a third football team before Atlanta gets their third NHL team.  "Trust us, it will be different this time!" 🤨

DC is not a state according to the government.  “Taxation Without Representation”

 

DC was established in constitution as neutral territory with property ceded by Commonwealth of Virginia and State of Maryland.  Virginia later took territory back from DC.  If the squatters need a vote they should be a county in Maryland.  Rather cede Syracuse to Canada,
