If we had to cut the NFL in half...

[Octoberfest23]

The NFL needs a team like the Browns to be the laughingstock. I agree in keeping them in the League of 16.

Don't be mad. Who would you replace on this list for the Seahawks.

 

[Octoberfest23]

Boredom?

 

[Octoberfest23]

It's just a list of teams that have the richest history or tradition and success. I wouldn't have included the patriots on this list before the last decade for example.

Since the NFL is a business couldn't you simply take the 16 wealthiest franchises? Since the wealth of a team probably goes hand in hand with how large their fanbase is it's a pretty safe route.

One could argue this. Alternatively, you could look at this as simply a fan and go by tradition, success, and/or importance to the league ignoring money.

I guess I was looking at this as taking the entire history of the NFL and the teams I would keep are the ones with the historic moments or periods that the NFL would be less for not having. The Lions and Eagles are the only teams I would think would be in jeopardy of being replaced... and they even both had some championship stretches.

I guess I interpreted in the way that you meant... so good!

 

[packerzrule]

surprised to see New Orleans so far down the list of team's worth

This has nothing to do with the Seahawks???

All I'm saying the NFL needs a team like the Browns.

you should get rid of the expansion teams first .. but you have to keep all of the teams that were there from the beginning of the nfl

Be very tough to lose the Kansas City Chiefs.

Being a Raider fan you must have the Chiefs. Boot someone else and make room

Then it's invalid since you included the Browns. Your history and mild success is in Baltimore.

In terms of franchise value:

1: Cowboys
2: Patriots
3: Redskins
4: Giants
5: Texans
6: Jets
7: Eagles
8: Bears
9: Ravens
10: 49ers

Some historical teams that simply don't make much money. Shocked the Lions are that low considering they have a new stadium.

 

[wingsauce7]

The Raiders fans don't even support their own team by showing up to home games. Cut the bastards from the list.

 

[RoboticDreams]

This is America. If the NFL were to be cut in half, the most profitably teams would stay. Sorry Raiders, Bills, Lions and Browns.

I know, bro, just messing with you. It's all just hypothetical and of no real value, other than entertainment.
