Since it still off season,,,,,
This could be interesting.

The AFC East would have three New York-area teams (Buffalo Bills, New York Giants and New York Jets) and the New England Patriots.

The new AFC Central would be controversial. The Bengals and Cleveland Browns would move into a division with two teams currently in the AFC South, the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans. Arguably Cincinnati's biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, would exit with the Baltimore Ravens.

The revised AFC South would be comprised of three Florida teams (Tampa Bay Bucs, Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars) with the Atlanta Falcons.

The four franchises in the AFC West would be the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders.

Would you be a fan of this hypothetical realignment concept?

The Bengals would be in a division with a rival and two new teams

The NFC East would be a group featuring both teams in Pennsylvania- the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers - with two teams whose stadiums are separated by a mere 35 miles in the Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens.

The NFC Central would be the current NFC North: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. It's the only division whose members would go unchanged.

The NFC South has two Texas franchises in the Cowboys and Texans, along with the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.

The NFC West, which would lose the Arizona Cardinals, would add the Chargers, the other team from Los Angeles. The San Francisco 49ers, LA Rams and Seattle Seahawks remain.

And not sure why the Chargers and Cards need to swap out. Those conference changes cut a bit deeper.

Close the thread because no way Jerry Jones allows himself to not have the big east coast city spotlight and Washington as a patsy.

I know people are going to have vapors about the Rams & Chargers and Giants & Jets in the same division: but I don't see the world ending over in the NBA or NHL.

I don't see this happening,

If they wanted to realign the league based off geographic area,

Then they might as well do a realignment as in east vs west league like in basketball.

..plus baseball and hockey. But those teams have travel concerns in playing 3 or 4 games in a week.

At least whoever made this kept the Lions/Bears/Vikings/Packers together. IMHO that's the only untouchable division.

It's all hypothetical.

Now if the AFCE could make it harder on the Patriots I'd be for that. Thing is Miami for some reason usually has their number. Never been a fan of teams changing conferences either. And moving divisions around can compromise rivalries. No more Raiders / Chargers or Cowboys/ Eagles / Redskins etc..

I know.

But I actually like it a lot. Is it also a gateway to an 18 game season?

I suspect that this plan came from either a college professor or someone who flunked third grade.

It's funny you would equate those 2 together....
