TuscanyTile2 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Since it's the offseason, why not do some wacky threads. If the NFL had to contract 1 team per division who would be the likely candidates? Below are my choices. The NFC had some really tough choices. AFC EastNew England PatriotsNew York Jets Buffalo Bills: I like having this franchise but it seems like they have financial issues and occasionally play in Canada.Miami Dolphins AFC NorthCincinnati BengalsPittsburgh SteelersBaltimore RavensCleveland Browns: Last in first out. I know it's not fair that the Ravens are really the Browns but the Ravens have won 2 Superbowls so they have to stay. AFC SouthHouston TexansIndianapolis ColtsJacksonville Jaguars: Crappy stadium. I don't think they have a huge fanbase. They're a relatively new team (late 90's)Tennessee Titans AFC West Denver Broncos Kansas City ChiefsOakland RaidersSan Diego Chargers: Another team I would hate to see go but apparently they're having their troubles financially right now. NFC EastWashington RedskinsPhiladelphia Eagles: Very difficult choice but only choosing them based on process of elimination. The other 3 are multiple time Superbowl winners and league classics.New York GiantsDallas Cowboys NFC NorthMinnesota VikingsGreen Bay PackersDetroit Lions: Another very difficult choice. All classic teams. OTOH, the Lions have a losing history and at least it would improve Thanksgiving day football.Chicago Bears NFC SouthCarolina Panthers: Another last in first out choice. But it sure would be weird to contract a team that just went 15-1 and might win it all. Atlanta FalconsNew Orleans SaintsTampa Bay Buccaneers NFC WestArizona CardinalsSeattle SeahawksSt. Louis Rams: Another tough choice but since they're moving stadiums anyway, maybe they're in financial trouble.San Francisco 49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 They would never go by division. They would select 8 teams and realign. In your scenario those picks would probably be right but hard to see the hapless Browns go. They represent the losing but proud fan base of the NFL in my opinion.
