Ignoring the geography aspect, there's no way the talent pool would support more teams.

Also the time change is a pig problem. It is fine for a few games every once in a while but 17 games?

I would feel sorry for any team that was in London’s division.

Agreed on the talent pool but there were several NFLeu teams that were successful.

I would like to see a couple of teams there but not necessarily a whole division.

There are too many teams now. This is why the quality of the League is so low. Too many teams and too many games.

The logistics to prepare for, say, a team from California to play a team in Europe (or vice versa) would make it untenable.

If they insist on playing this out then a new version of NFL Europe would be better, but that's already failed once.

He's right it would be easier as a division simply because it would alleviate some of the very significant logistical problems with scheduling. Still, the logistical problems are MASSIVE. On the field, the Euro teams will have a huge home field advantage and a massive away game disadvantage due to those logistics. In terms of luring free agents... man, the Euro teams are going to be at a huge disadvantage. No legit star is gonna wanna go there. They're already doing fine here. You could have an advantage luring in good but not star level talent with the pitch of potentially becoming a star in Europe. But your real disadvantage is with rank and file roster players. Low level starters, good backups. Why would they go to Europe unless you're significantly overpaying?

The NFL just sees $$$ but I see a lot of issues, both logistically and competitively.

They won't need to dilute the talent any more by creating new teams.  They can just move teams whose owners have successfully ticked off the fan base enough that they won't care if their team moves to Europe. 

[Jackie Lee]

Dumb. There's not even a decent QB available in FA right now besides a worn down Cam. Mike Glennon? Gonna poach decent backups from the current teams? It's like adding 4 XFL teams and throwing in some jet lag

Look, the NFL overseas won't work. We all know it. But we all know it'll probably happen lol.

But come on, man ... would you rather live in London during the season, or would you rather live in: Charlotte, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Kansas City, DC, Green Bay, Minneapolis, Detroit, or Phoenix during the season? I think, minus the logistics, it'd be a no brainer to want to spend part of your year in London.

If you're talking specifically to me, none of the above.

If you're talking to the typical NFL player, probably all of the above.

Why do you think a regular player would choose to not live in London for a time? It'd be like a vacation. Better everything than your nowhere US city.
