There was rumors a while back that the NFL wanted to add more teams. I honestly would love to see more teams added to the NFL, but for states that don't yet have any teams. Do you think we'll get to a point where we'll add a few more teams to the NFL? Or do you think they will stick to the 32 teams they have now?

💬 IDK, but ...
I was just watching Fox news Orlando and they were promoting the XFL Guardians under Dwayne Johnson direction do you think they could merge or do some type of crossover NFL vs XFL to regain interest or view ratings for both organizations?

Someone at work brought this up a few days ago saying they can add more but not a lot of places want to front the money for it. Like if you have a city that wants a team, it is cheaper to buy the team's franchise than start a new one cause you have to straight up build a stadium, make merch, buy all kinds of licenses, pay a bunch of money for zoning... it is a lot

I haven't heard anything but it probably will happen because you see the expanded schedule is already a thing, plus there's so many celebrities and rich folks who want in on ownership, an expansion team can be their easy path

I think that expansion is the USFL, in my opinion.

Maybe like the NHL, MLB and NBA and have Canadian teams but the CFL is fairly popular up there. But its a natural progression. Possibly a deal to make one big North American league and incorporate the CFL but there will have to be rule changes.

Less chance of a team in Mexico. Some states are football crazy but have no team (Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, South Carolina).
