European Teams Coming To The NFL

-

 


    There are multiple games in Europe this year, it seems like every time I wake on Sunday there is already a game on in Europe. There used to be just 1 or 2 but now there are games in London, Germany, or Mexico City, the NFL is looking to playing games across the world. But the NFL has always been rumored to want a team in London to grow the audience that has been growing rapidly over the last few years. The Jaguars have even got rid of one of their home games every year to play to Europe. 

    Rodger Goodell has hinted at having 4 teams in Europe because having a division would be easier on travel. “We’re trying to see, could you have multiple locations in Europe where you could have an NFL franchise, because it would be easier as a division,” Goodell stated before the Packers Giants game took place. 

    Now here are the questions that everyone will ask. Why does there need to be teams in Europe? How will it work if there are multiple teams in Europe? What if a European team wanted to workout a free agent? Will he workout in a United States site or have to fly to Europe? Will the players get paid in Euros or American dollars? How will the expansion draft work? What if players boycotted Europe games? Why not just bring back NFL Europe? Will there been enough fans in Europe to bring in 4 new teams? Will be just be 20 teams in the AFC or NFC? Will there be 4 new teams in the United Stated to balance out the NFL landscape?

    There are a lot of questions I did not mention that people have been asking ever since the NFL started international games many years ago. I think the NFL will expanded to European countries but also teams in Canada and Mexico in the future. The NFL looks to expand globally. The NFL will be the first league to put multiple teams in foreign soil since the MLB with the Blue Jays and Expos but currently only have 1 team left in Canada. 

    Here's why the 4 team division makes sense over just 1 or 2 teams in Europe. If you put an entire division in Europe, that means each team would get to stay in Europe for 11 or 12 of its 17 games. Say the Packers or Giants have to play their division crossover in Europe. They would stay 2 weeks over in Europe and knock out those 2 games then come back to America and play the rest of their games in the United States. I think we are about to have European teams in the NFL in 5 years or less. Just a matter or time, hopefully they have a cool name or uniforms. I cant wait to get a Carson Wentz London Monarchs in 3 years.

Teams Should Pick Up Lamar Jackson

       The NFL offseason is finally among us and leads the fans to many questions around the NFL. The biggest storylines come out with free agency, draft, and players asking for trades. But the biggest storyline this season has to be Lamar Jackson and the non-exclusive franchise tag. Deshaun Watson had teams ready to give him a fully guaranteed contract and trading multiples picks for him when teams knew he was going to get suspended. Russell Wilson had teams willing to do the exact same thing but teams cautious about his age and when he was going to decline. Lamar Jackson is 26 years old and a former MVP. Teams have said they do not want to have talks with Jackson because the Ravens will match the offer. Teams do not want to do all this work for Jackson, just for the Ravens to use them to get a contract done with Jackson. That makes sense but teams need a quarterback.      There are multiple teams in the NFL that need a QB like Lamar Jackson to take them where they want to go. Having

Joe Burrow is UNPLAYABLE

     The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a 1-3 start and Joe Burrow has not looked like the quarterback he once was. Some will say his calf injury is the reason, some will say Zac Taylor is not a good offensive coach, some will say the offensive line is BAD, and some have no idea what is going on in Cincinnati. All the Bengals have taken a step back and their fantasy positions are decreasing from years past. But Joe Burrow only has 2 touchdown passes through 4 games, and those 2 both came against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Joe Burrow is the QB31 in fantasy football, only in front of Bryce Young for starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield, Joshua Dobbs, and Zach Wilson are all better fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lets take a look at his weapons and compare their fantasy results this season. Starting with Ja'Marr Chase as he is WR21 who finished as WR12 in 2022 and WR5 in 2021. Tee Higgins is WR50 who finished as WR18 in 2022 and WR24 in 2021. Tyler Boyd is also WR64 an

Bears Big Decision: Justin Fields or Caleb Williams?

       The Bears have one of the most interesting off season decisions to make with either Justin Fields or Caleb Williams. If you were to ask any Bears fan, the fan base is split 50/50 and understandably so. Justin Fields has looked like a different quarterback since coming back from injury and also has 3 games left to prove. The Bears are also still in the playoff picture as well to make a run but seems very unlikely at this point. Lets get into the argument for both sides then I will get into my opinion. Justin Fields : I think the flash has been there the last couple of games and we saw the same thing from Fields to end the year. Also adding DJ Moore was huge for Fields as he finally got a WR1. The Bears have 2 top 5 picks and could focus on building around Fields through the draft. The Bears could do a couple things with the first pick and the most popular would be trading down. With trading down, it would be 2-3 first round picks and also players. The Bears clearly won the Panthe
