I propose an alignment in which no teams switch conferences, but a number of teams switch divisions to make them more geographically correct:
AFC:
E: BUF, NE, NYJ, PIT
N: CIN, CLE, IND, KC
S: BAL, JAX, MIA, TEN
W: DEN, HOU, LAC, OAK->LV
NFC:
E: CAR, NYG, PHI, WAS
N: CHI, DET, GB, MIN
S: ATL, DAL, NO, TB
W: ARI, LAR, SF, SEA
Some notes:
Both North Divisions have all their teams in the Midwest
Both South Divisions have all their teams south of the proverbial Mason-Dixon Line; the Colts fans really wanted their team in the AFC North, and Miami goes from having all their division rivals being very far away to their farthest division rival being closer than their current closest rival
The 3 Northeast teams in the NFC East are joined by an actual 4th team in an east coast state
Pittsburgh moves into a division with other Northeastern teams like the Penguins are now
Dallas moves into a division with other Southern teams
It's 2018, there is no need for them to be geographically correct. Especially when you own a couple of these.
