Which NFL team/teams will relocate next?

[major]

We’ve seen the raiders move to Las Vegas and the Chargers and Rams to LA. Who will be next? I’ve heard for years that the Jags would move to London but that fire has seemed to die down. I have one for you (and I’m not lying or making this up). The Hunt family is seriously considering moving the Chiefs back to Dallas. They (Hunt siblings) own FC Dallas soccer and have many ties (past and present) to the Dallas area. Mayor of Dallas wants an afc team and cotton bowl (original home of the Dallas Texans and cowboys) is currently being renovated. It all came to a head when KC voters rejected stadium deal. Stay tuned… 2030 is the target date. This could send Jerry Jones to the grave having competition in his neck of the woods. I can’t say where I got this from, but it’s someone in the know.

Jags are building a new stadium and will need a place to play for the 2025 or 2026 season...

 

There was talk that the NFL was testing the Jags playing in London 2 weeks in a row to test how much of an advantage it would be for them to be there waiting while the other team has to come over on a normal week..

 

Unfortunately the Bills ended up as the team that got chosen to get screwed by the NFL for it.

 

If the NFL thought it was OK, there was discussion that they would play their home games that season the stadium was being built in London and would either play all their home games first to start the seasona and then go back to Jacksonville as their base for the road games or do all their road games starting in Jacksonville as the base and then go to London for a few months and play all their home games aa the travel back and forth would be too much for them on a week to week basis.

 

Not sure if that is still a viable option or not at this point.

If they move (which I think is as likely as any team considering they are in need of a new stadium) I’d put money on Austin

I think the Chiefs will move next.  To Kansas

[Big Turk]

I could see the Chargers moving again.

 

Los Angeles HATES them...when every game is a road game, it makes it tough to stay in a city long term.

The Chargers are probably going to move because they pay rent and don’t have a loyal fan base. I don’t think people realize how bad Qualcomm Stadium was. There was no way you could justify paying NFL prices at that place. They had to move, and LA was the most convenient option.

San Diego St looks like they have a decent stadium now

[GASabresIUFan]

The Bills...... to their new stadium across the street.

[gonzo1105]

Kansas City Chiefs- to Kansas from Missouri almost seems like its going to happen.

 

Los Angeles Chargers- Maybe either Portland or San Antonio??

 

These two seem like the most likely now that the Jaguars aren't moving

 

Other teams that I could see moving just because sometime in the future:

 

Cincinnati Bengals- Aging Stadium, Cheap ass ownership. Could see them headed to somewhere like St.Louis

 

Carolina Panthers- Seems more like a college football area than a professional team. Owner is a meddler and the stadium is going on 30 years old now.

I agree with others.  I would put money on the Chargers next to move.   Not counting possible in region moves like the Chiefs.

you really think Jerry Jones, who would kill to see a team out of San Antonio would allow for "The Dallas Chargers"?

 

come on...

The Chargers are paying a rent of one dollar a year!  Why on earth are they going to move?

what would be the point of moving the Chiefs across the border?  To...where? I don't get it.

 

Chargers moved because the owner didn't want to spend on a stadium.  The Rams left St. Louis because they wouldn't build a new stadium.  So you think this is a natural match? lol.....

My daughter lived in SD for 10 years after college, for some of them her apartment was right down the street from Qualcomm.  There are way too many things to do in San Diego on a beautiful fall/early winter afternoon other than watching football.  That's part of the problem.  I do think if they can overcome Jerrah & McNair, I could definitely see a team based in either Austin or San Antonio.  5 million people live in those two adjacent metropolitan areas, those two [after San Diego] are the largest cities without a team.

[May Day 10]

Not counting minor moves like KC to Kansas and Washington possibly to another part of that region...

 

I agree with the chargers.  They seem like a vagabond team, and a deal will spring up sooner or later.

 

Carolina just entered a big lease i think, and a bunch of money is being put into the super dome.  

 

I'd say the bengals could be the most vulnerable.  Their lease ends in a couple years.  Owner is cheap.  

 

Most teams seem to be on relatively stable local footing.  

[aristocrat]

I think the panthers move. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

The chargers should move back to San Diego. It seems right. Them being in LA is so strange. The Panthers probably need to do something or else it might end up accidentally being them. The league will probably come down and start pressuring ownership if this turns into a white Sox situation 

[Beast]

Just like we can block Toronto from getting a team, Jerry Jones can block any team wanting to move into his territory.

Oh yea, forgot we were the 2nd team, that's a massive advantage. 

.Op , it certainly makes sense and wouldn't be shocked 1 bit if KC moved to Dallas

[peterpan]

Some of these stadium demands are truely ridiculous.  I’m old enough to remember the Rams moving to St.. Louis. I’m not that old.  And they already left.  
 

I have family in St Louis.  That stadium is basically brand new beautiful glass enclosed dome.  And then the Rams moved after demanding a new stadium.  wtf?  It was still nicer and newer than 80% of the league’s stadiums.  At some point I think it’s just an excuse to leave.

The dome the Rams played in? It’s 30 years old and was last renovated in 2010. There’s windows on then sides but it’s not a glass enclosed dome. Are you thinking of Minnesota? That stadium is closer to what you describe.
