Wait, so they would still be Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason? I still don't get exactly how it would work.

In the article, Waller (NFL, EVP of international events) is suggesting that a permanent "London team" would essentially have two facilities. One of them would be somewhere on the east coast of the US. But they would be a London team. Neither the Jaguars nor Jacksonville were cited by Waller in this hypothetical.

What he is suggesting is a London team that has a "second" base in the US to attempt to ease the logistics nightmare of playing "home games"  5,6,7 or 8 time zones away from their competition's home fields. 

To me it's still just  a drop in an especially giant bucket of unsolved problems the league will have with such a far flung franchise.
