It would be a relief if he'd move the team. I'm begging for a reason to quit at this point.

Honestly, me too. My home state team being here is the only reason I’m still hanging on to the nfl. I don’t really watch other teams. The nfl isn’t that appealing to me anymore

Unlikely.

1) Tepper just signed a 20 year commitment with charlotte.

2) The city owns the land the stadium sits on, and can foreclose on the stadium if he breaks the agreement (plus fines). Bye bye Charlotte FC.

3) Charlotte FC cannot maintain that stadium alone. I can’t imagine the legal crap from MLS he’d have to deal with if that team couldn’t play in the city.

4) If the nfl setup shop in Europe, they’d be subject to Europes laws. Think safety (CTE), unions, corporate governance, contract law, employment law, etc. Keeping the EU regulators happy would change the game forever.

Plus tariffs lol. How would that work?

Lol…didn’t think of that. There is a 100% tariff on foreign movies and tv shows now right?

I don’t know. I thought the EU and US signed a deal where we pretty much cancel out most things. Which should be better for us. 
It is another piece of gum in the works though, I was just trolling Europe to be honest. 
The future of a business over there, I would be worried. They are losing their grip on their culture and it’s about blow up I think. I don’t know that I would want to be heavily invested.

Tepper is not going to pay European taxes after living in the South Eastern US for this long.

Besides like everyone says about aligning Union, labor, safety laws with US, it won’t happen.

I highly doubt other owners are going to approve it either, think about the travel every single week. Either they would have to come to the US for a few weeks at a time or a different team would have to which would impact their next week of practice. Would complicate scheduling for the rest of the league as well. Would never be approved. 
 

I do think that eventually Europe will get a revamped version of NFL Europe that is modernized and it will do well if managed correctly.

Europe (or international) will come eventually.

Trying to figure out if it'd best be four teams (two NFC, two AFC) or eight teams (NFC Intl, AFC Intl) and how it'd play out in terms of schedule and playoffs

They've already scheduled Australia and Brazil, and looking for Japan. So to isolate to just "Europe" may be premature... unless they've determined that's a logical expansion space given demand.

I'd say that it would likely happen with an extension to an 18 week regular season, giving all teams two bye weeks to recover from overseas travel as all teams will be required to play internationally at least one game every year.  More likely two.

I imagine the NFL schedule maker team (great video of their process posted on the YouTube) have already run through all sorts of example scenarios to see what is/isn't possible in the future

They would find ways to help. Larger PS, more cap space, etc. Besides its not one team moving it would be atleast 3(Panthers, jags, titans/bills/ravens/jets/saints). One team travels over there and plays 3 teams in three weeks. The travel is not worst than going EC to south Alaska AKA Seattle. or other WC trips.

They already have a plan in place, trust me...And I feel tepper is 100% involved.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
