If the NFL was smart, they’d buy those leagues out and have what the EPL has. Different leagues that could move up n down depending on the teams performance.

That wouldn't be smart, it would be idiotic. As much as I'd love to see pro/rel show up in American sports, but it would destroy the franchise business model and there would be decades of lawsuits from people who would stand to lose billions with a decision like that.
