It only hurts the existing teams and makes owners richer.
1- expansion draft means we lose players from our team for nothing.
2- more teams means fewer high rookie draft picks. If we win the super bowl our pick wouldn’t be until 40 instead of 32. Pick two would be 80 instead of 64. Our 3rd rounder would essentially be the equivalent of a mid/late 4th rounder in a 32 team league.
3- once all the new teams are competitive we go from a 1/32 chance of winning a super bowl to 1/40….stats guys give me a break here, you know what I’m saying.
4- it will water down the talent and competition level of the whole league.
There is NO reason for a fan of an existing team to want this. None.
1.) Usually the guys that are drafted for expansion teams are end of the roster/PS type players. I don't really see why any team would be that worried to lose any of those types of players.
2.) Is there really that big of a difference between between picks 40 and 32 in a given year or between 96 and 120? Also if it's that big of a difference maybe a snake draft to offset the unfair advantage.
3.) So?
4.) This would be my major concern as well. (Particularly at the OL position) With that being said I think the NFL is confident that there will be a significant jump in international talent within the next decade( especially from Europe)That should add 15 to 20% more players to the player pool. Also a developmental league will help increase the talent pool as well
