Since you want me on that topic.
In short, I see no way that the NFL would merge with the CFL or the remains of the CFL, should the CFL disappear. Today is unlike the environment of the NFL/AFL merger. Furthermore, the NFL likes the CFL as a minor league. If the NFL needed expansion, they would rather choose their own expansion cities and get true expansions even if those franchises are in the same cities as CFL teams looking for a post-CFL home.
In the mid-nineties, the CFL expanded to the US including the Baltimore Stallions. Once Baltimore secured the theft of the NFL's Browns, the Stallions - the defending Grey Cup Champions - folded and the ownership moved to Montreal. I know this is the reverse of your proposal, but it shows the drastic difference in popularity between the NFL and the CFL.
