Alternate NFL: What would happen if half the league relocated?

Have you ever wondered how the league might look if over the half the league relocated? Well here's my take on what the league might look like. I relocated 17 of the NFL's franchises and gave them new team names, as well as uniforms. I had a few rules as I started this franchise:

1. Relocations must make geographical sense (if you want a team in London then one of the East division teams must be relocated)
2. At least one team from each division must be relocated.
3. I decided that certain teams would be protected (Patriots, Cowboys, Steelers, New York Giants, Packers, etc.) basically if the team had upwards of 4 Super Bowls or had been a staple of the league.

Here's how the division's aligned following my relocation (former teams in parenthesis).

AFC East

New England Patriots
London Monarchs (Miami Dolphins)
Brooklyn Beats (New York Jets)
Dublin Shamrocks (Buffalo Bills)

AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers
Columbus Aviators (Cleveland Browns)
Cincinnati Bengals
Baltimore Ravens

AFC South
Mexico City Diablos (Jacksonville Jaguars)
Austin Armadillos (Indianapolis Colts)
Oklahoma City Bisons (Tennessee Titans)
San Antonio Dreadnoughts (Houston Texans)

AFC West
Sacramento Miners (Denver Broncos)
Salt Lake City Elks (Kansas City Chiefs)
San Diego Aftershocks (Los Angeles Chargers)
Las Vegas Raiders (Oakland Raiders)

NFC East
New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys
London Black Knights (Washington Redskins)
Philadelphia Eagles

NFC South
Memphis Hounds (Carolina Panthers)
Orlando Sentinels (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans Saints

NFC West
Los Angeles Rams
Seattle Seahawks
Portland Lumberjacks (Arizona Cardinals)
San Francisco 49ers

Following this I then simmed 10 years into the future because I wanted the league to look a lot different (new players, new coaches, etc.)

Stay tuned for more updates!
