With the NFL set to expand once again in the very near future, I asked the following question this past week:
Do you think NFL expansion is a good idea, and if so, or if not, why? Given that expansion is almost guaranteed, who do you think will get a franchise, who should get a franchise, and who would you like to see get a franchise and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
jimmythesaint1 like many of us, is long past tired of all the crap you now have to pay for just to watch all of your own team's games.

Expansion outside the states is a 100% guarantee to happen, then the NFL fan/consumer will need to add SkyTV and who knows what else. And they think they will be growing the game? I used to be a diehard NBA fan. I haven’t watched a minute of NBA for 3 years running. I’ll never go back. They created an unwatchable product. The NFL is barreling down that same hole.
sdphinsfan is ready for the league to realign sooner than it expands.
If expansion is truly demand driven, then it will work. They have a great product. Where they put it is key. If San Antonio/Austin or SLC or St. Louis can sell out there stadiums, its good. More than expansion though the NFL needs to look at realignment. Don’t give me the old rivalries line...there are no rivalries anymore.
MIAMI235 believes that the league is big enough, but that the rosters need to be expanded.
Maybe we are still at the point of enough is enough.
Expanding rosters may be an alternative, getting more players in the League.
finfanfromsiam knows that due to money, it will happen, but it might backfire in the long run.
NFL greed mandates expansion! Thus the sport will deteriorate further. Have said before the NFL thinks it is too big to fail. Those at the top fall harder. Keep alienating the fans NFL, keep alienate us.
Miami7 believes that teams overseas would be a horrible idea.
An international team would be an absolute joke - would likely end any interest at all in the NFL for me. I do not feel expansion is necessary - as stated - there are only so many QBs on the planet, on top of that only 4-5 that’re ELITE. Thinnin’ that herd even more just seems ridiculous in a league that’s already segregated them in so many idiotic rule changes (and financially) from the rest of the players as is.
Francesco ITA has a good idea, but I doubt you could ever get enough owners to vote for it.
what about making an A league and a B league as we use in european soccer ?
A league 24 teams (Superbowl, the 4 worst goes to be B league after play outs)...
