I would assume. But moving an nfl team out of the nfl would cost them value of the franchise and that’s probably not legal. No team getting moved up to the nfl would mind but owners would have to approve each move, they’d have to meet ownership requirements which require a lot of money. I don’t see how you could possibly do it. Players are different. You could use another league like a minor league system though they’d probably want some compensation for the talent they lose but that could be workable. Taking an owners franchise with the nfl, out of the nfl isn’t possible. How would a team ever build a stadium if there was a possibility they could be moved out of the nfl. How could they sign a FA. How could a lesser league afford the contract the players on that team have? It’s just not possible

Fair enough. I mean, I would imagine it'd be in the contract that relegation causes a cut in pay. But the NFLPA would never go for it tbh. Though, a minor league system, especially for the practice squad players, might be a good compromise. Game play is better than practice after all.

So I pay $10B for the Dallas Cowboys. I Sure as hell won’t be relegated to the inferior league's where I can buy a team for a hot dog and a bag of popcorn.

If you pay 10 biilion you'll be going all in doing interviews, approving game plans, giving reports on injuries etc....

Let's be honest, the Carolina Panthers hardly resemble anything that an NFL team should look like. In most sports leagues in other parts of the world like Europe or even in the American Football league in Japan (X-League), they'd be prime candidates for relegation so far. But, how would such a relegation and promotion system work? Well, here is an idea that I have thought of.

I am aware the NFL likes to have a few football leagues in the summer. I think this is where the CFL and a lot of the indoor leagues come in. As for the UFL, which has produced legitimate talent, I think their season should be moved to during the season. Their regular season games should be played on Tuesday evenings, Wednesday evenings, and Friday evenings. This keeps them out of the way of NFL games and allows for daily football games between the NFL, UFL, and college football. Their championship could be the Sunday between the conference championships and the Super Bowl (and move the Pro bowl back to after the SB). To add to the UFL Championship stakes, the winner of the UFL Bowl would earn promotion to the NFL. The worst team in the NFL would be relegated to the UFL.

Then, for the draft, the NFL would have their draft first. Then, about a week or two later, THE UFL would have their draft. The champion of the UFL who got promoted to the NFL would have the number 1 pick, while the relegated team has the last pick in the UFL pick. This, to add excitement, it would be possible for a team to be newly promoted, like say the Birmingham Stallions who would be an exciting addition to the NFC South, to be newly promoted and win the Super Bowl.

This would probably hurt a team like the Panthers, but they hurt our eyes from having to watch them suck routinely. The NFL is supposed to have the best quality football teams. So, why not relegate the worst team yearly to the UFL like they do in other parts of the world?

I believe UFL players get paid 5,500 a week. No way a UFL team can compete with the worst NFL team.

That’s a viable option. Basically a minor league system

Yes,

the NFL can agree to share certain players that the UFL are interested in and that the player is interested in the ufl & the NFL contract for the specific teams would pay for the salary of that player as well as the insurance,

so it's a win win for both sides because it'll help keep the UFL afloat when they have money problems when they all know they'll end up with money issues because these other leagues don't last this would assure a relationship with the NFL that they can remain a little bit with more longevity...
