Restructuring the NFL

We have not added a new NFL team or a new State to the Union in a long time, but let's focus on the NFL. So, we should add 8 more teams to the NFL to make it 40, take two of the games from the pre-season and make them regular season games, realign the divisions to make them make more sense. Let's dive into the pre-season games.

Pre-Season/ Regular Season

Currently there are 3 preseason games with the 4th week being an off week, after adding that to the regular season. We could whittle it down to 2 weeks, one game and the off week to add the other two games to the regular season. Make it a 20-week season. This would also mean 2 bye weeks every season instead of the 1 we have now. But now we get to the teams and the realignment.

Divisions/Teams

So we should add 8 teams and make it 40 teams. That will mean some realignment. So lets begin with new teams. I think we should elevate the St. Louis Battlehawks from the UFL. Then maybe bring back some old teams from yesteryear. Lets go with some international teams first. I think we should add Toronto, Canada, maybe the Toronto Wolves or Huskies, let's go Toronto Wolves. Mexico City should get some love as well, I do like the Golden Eagles from Madden 26, Mexico City Golden Eagles. Now Omaha, Nebraska gets some love, we already have a buffalo team. Omaha Grazers. I like that. Maine maybe, Augusta prolly, Augusta Lobsters. I think having a team in Hawaii always made sense but since they do have active volcanoes it would be more dangerous than you think so let's take that and add a team to SD again. San Diego Fleet, reviving the old AAF team from a few years ago. Now let's go Wyoming, I think since Colorado has a team why not Cheyenne, Wyoming. Cheyenne Bulls or Bull Riders. I like Bulls, so we have the Cheyenne Bulls. I think New Mexico should have a team as well. Since the Gamblers are back in the UFL, Santa Fe should get an old team. My first instinct is the Oilers but I doubt the Titans would allow that, so lets bring back the Matadors, from San Antonio who played in the Spring Football League in 2000.

Lets begin with the East Divisions. So the NFC East is currently the Eagles, Giants, Commanders and Cowboys. So we will take out the Cowboys and add the Lobsters. The AFC East is the Dolphins, Bills, Jets and Pats. Let's remove the Dolphins and add the Ravens

NFC North is the Lions, Packers, Bears and Vikings, let's keep that. The AFC North will add the Wolves into it.

The NFC South has the Bucs, Falcons, Saints and Panthers. We can keep those teams together. The AFC South is the Texans, Colts, Jags and the Titans. We can remove the Colts and Titans and add the Dolphins and Cowboys.

The NFC West is the Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams and 49ers, so that's fine. The AFC West is the Chargers, Broncos, Raiders and Chiefs, lets remove KC, LV and Denver and add the Fleet, Golden Eagles and Matadors.

We will re-add the Central division for both the NFC and AFC. So let's begin with the AFC Central. In this new division is gonna be the Raiders, Chiefs, Titans and Broncos. The NFC will be the Battlehawks, the Bulls, the Grazers and Colts.

So the final Divisions are as follows

AFC-

North- Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Toronto Wolves

East- New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets

Central- Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos

South- Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Miami Dolphins

West- San Diego Fleet, Santa Fe Matadors, Mexico City Golden Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers

NFC-

North- Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears

East- Washington Commanders, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Augusta Lobsters

Central- St. Louis Battlehawks, Cheyenne Bulls, Omaha Grazers and Indianapolis Colts

South- New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, and Atlanta Falcons

West- Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers
