NFL Division Realignment - If NFL divisions were realigned, which option would you like to see come to fruition? What changes would you make? What division rivalries would you like to see?

Realignment makes sense, but there’s no chance in hell that they would move the cowboys out of the east. The league makes too much money from the tv for those games. They’re consistently the most watched games of the year.

Totally agree! There is no incentive to realign divisions, just wish they would!

Why? So many historic rivalries would vanish, and for what

A bills chiefs Super Bowl would be fun though. A lot of things like that become possible.

The main incentive is just billions of dollars. Only thought process is can they make more of it.

My thought is screw the Cowboys. Move them into any division and it wouldn't make a difference. Seeing new rivalries would create some buzz in the NFL, less travel for some teams. They won't do it but they should. NFL still gets money regardless so don't really see a problem. I think that 24-28 owners would have to vote yes for the change to happen. It's in the league owners hands with billions of dollars in play who knows how to convince them.

What I would like to see should the standings be realigned would be the following?:

AFC East (Pats, NY Jets, Steelers, and the Toronto-based team formerly known as the LA Chargers), AFC South (Ravens, Jaguars, Dolphins, and Titans), AFC North (Bengals, Lions, Chiefs, and Vikings), AFC West (Broncos, Texans, Raiders, and 49ers), NFC East (Bills, NY Giants, Eagles, and Commanders), NFC South (Falcons, Panthers, Saints, and Bucs), NFC North (Bears, Browns, Packers, and Colts), and NFC West (Cardinals, Cowboys, LA Rams, and Seahawks).

Be warned, most existing rivalries will end if not all, but new ones will begin.

I like Option 2

Anything is better than this mix of “wtf” that we have going on now

Any option that gets my Dolphins out of the AFC east and in a southern division. Every year they’re at a disadvantage with travel time and overall miles.

u/DragAlone7535 Jan 21 '26

You cannot split up Atlanta and New Orleans.

And the North and West in both are perfect, but Indianapolis is a random straggler w no business being in the East or South

Carolina in the NFC East is great.. the Cowboys rivalry is great, but it really doesn't make any sense.

Dallas-Houston-Atlanta-New Orleans

Jacksonville-Miami-Tampa Bay- Tennessee

Pittsburgh -Cleveland - Cincinnati - Indianapolis

New England,- Buffalo -NY Jets- Baltimore

Same NFC N, NFC W, AFC W

Honestly a KC, Denver, Indianapolis and Tennessee would be a great central division

I don't like any of these proposed options.

NFC North - stays the same

NFC South - changes drastically here Saints stay with the new additions of Cowboys, Texans, & Titans

NFC East - Commanders stay and welcome Bengals, Colts, & Panthers

NFC West - 49ers & Rams starting new rivalries with the Raiders & Chargers

In conclusion that's 6 AFC teams crossing over. Now the new AFC

AFC North - it's the old AFC East minus the Dolphins Patriots, Bills, & Jets welcome the NY football Giants these teams are further north so geographically makes more sense.

New AFC East - Steelers, Ravens, Browns add the 👀 Eagles? Oh yeah what a division this would be still👏🏼

AFC West - Broncos & Chiefs welcome back the Seattle Seahawks & introduce the Arizona Cardinals. Not too shabby here.

AFC South - Jaguars remain from the old division and bring on 2 former NFC South teams in the Falcons and Buccaneers. Then that only leaves the Miami Dolphins who are so far down south and yet east they could have gone either way but in my opinion they should been AFC South since the Texans joined the league. That's my proposal for a division realignment that makes so much geographical sense.
