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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
