You're a realist.

They only signed a 10-year lease. And T-Pegs is 72 years old.

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
South Dakota
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
West Virginia
Wyoming

 

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

 

I think all of the states that have multiple teams should only have 1 per state, and seeing that the Bills are the only team actually located in NY they should be the team to stay & the G men & Jets be relocated one could stay in Jersey & be called the New Jersey Giants or Jets but the other would have to leave .

 

That would give 32 states teams & that would only leave 20 states to fill but there would be so many teams they would have to play games constantly to get them all in so i'm not at all interested in this scenario . 

 

But thanks any way .

Jets stay in Jersey and the Giants go to Connecticut where they have lots of fans and are still close to NY. They could build a stadium in Stamford- it is right there.

Lions would stay in Detroit.  Wolverines are a college team. 

 

This is for fun, not to be taken seriously.  Did you read the thread title? 


Jack I’m just kidding with you as well.  I don’t see us having the Jackson Hole Jaguars anytime soon.  🤣👌👍🏈🦬
