It's time to realign!

The only changes listed aren't going to happen because they didn't when the last realignment happened. The league established that historical rivalries were a big part in geography not taking top priority in the last realignment(s). Both south divisions are kind of "leftovers" that were either expansion teams or teams without long-standing rivalries with teams that remained in the more geographic alignment the last re-org accomplished.

Looking at your proposal, there's only 5 teams shifting from one division to the other. The last realignment was to add two new divisions, followed a decade filled with 4 expansion franchises, 3 franchises relocated (maybe 4 if you count the Raiders bouncing between LA and Oakland), and a corrected a number of geographical outliers due to previous expansions (ATL in the west, Tampa in the north because the old NFCe already had 5 members, including one now in Phoenix!), SEA moved to NFC to even up conference membership. 

It kinda sucks that we're in the junk drawer of the AFC conference alignment, but unless we have a number of teams relocate from one coast to the other, I doubt you'll see any realignment any time soon.

....like Nevada just did?
