What if the NFL added an Expansion Team? There has not been an expansion team since 2002 when the Houston Texans Joined the NFL. The new expansion team will bring an NFL team to Austin Texas called the Austin Rock. The Rock had 3 phases to complete their roster.
First, they had the expansion draft where star players like Ezekial Elliott, Michael Thomas, Darren Waller, Dalvin Cook, Harrison Smith, and more were available. Then the Rock could use free agency to sign playmakers. They took advantage of free agency by bringing in big names such as Dalvin Thomlinson, Rock Ya-Sin, Caleb McGarry, and more. The Rock finally had to build their team through the 2023 NFL Draft where they had the tough choice to decide between Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, or Anthony Richardson at Quarterback. They also had options available on offense and defense such as the University of Texas Running Back Bijan Robinson, Georgia Defensive Lineman Jalen Carter, and more.
This simulation shows a realistic look at what an expansion team's roster would look like. This video was started before free agency so some of the players in the expansion draft were already cut and some of the players in free agency had already signed in real life.

Austin would be a great candidate for expansion. It is a great football town (thanks to UT). one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, and a great music scene. If Austin had a team I would be a fan in a heartbeat. the country

They need to realign the divisions strictly on regional geography first. NFL should NOT be adding teams right now. Old divisional games would be for bragging rights and playoff games would be wild. New divisional opponents would build better rivalries because the matchups would be closer cities going head to head twice a year. I believe it would save on traveling expenses and also generate more revenue and profit for all teams.

@kimyona9746 10 ай бұрын

Since I'm Q-tined, I'm gonna realign the divisions: AFC West: Seahawks, Broncos, Niners, Chargers NFC West: Cardinals, Raiders, Rams, Cowboys NFC South: Texans, Falcons, Saints, Titans AFC South: Phins, Jags, Buccs, Panthers NFC North: Vikings, Chiefs, Bears, Packers AFC North: Lions, Colts, Bengals, Browns AFC East: Steelers, Manders, Ravens, Eagles NFC East: Bills, Pats, New York Giants, New Jersey Jets (officially they change their name to New Jersey as more of their fanbase is in New Jersey)

They'd pretty much need to add 4 teams in their next expansion to keep divisions from being ridiculous. 6 6-team divisions would work, even if it'd be awkward. Far better than unequal divisions though.

@ZuluGamingSeries 7 ай бұрын

Yeah it would have to be like 8 teams, 4 esch For the AFC and NFC creating a division for each to balance everything out this would be the most realistic scenario. Or add 2 teams and create a 3 team division but seeing way more divisions

They'll add 2 teams. When the Texans were added one team had their bye in the first week, which wasn't very fair for the entire league. The team that had that first bye had to play 16 weeks, now 17 weeks straight. That's not fair for them. For the rest of the league the team that plays them the second week might have a bit of an advantage in that they've already played a game. However, the team that didn't play the first week will have an extra week of rest and practice, plus they have a chance to watch their upcoming opponent.
