Another piece worth mentioning is that the St. Louis move aligned well with divisions around the NFL. The rams were already in the NFC west so a complete division realignment was not necessary. The jags would have shifted a few teams had they moved. The rams were in a perfect position to switch without little collateral damage and to a fan base that had already been slightly established years prior.

I agree with the alignment factor and I'm actually glad to see the Rams back in LA.  That said, our AFC South alignment was simply throwing all of the leftovers in a single division so it didn't impact long term rivalries that exist in the AFC East-North-West.  

I don't think the Jags will move from a growing and desirable city like Jacksonville -- which is becoming ever more popular retirement destination with the baby boomers of the Northeast (e.g. currently residing in Boston, NY, DC, Philly, Pittsburgh).  BUT, I do have to admit that I wouldn't be shocked if it happened; especially with the Fulham FCs promotion to the Premier League -- Shad could pretty much be the King of London (or perhaps even the King of the UK or Europe) as it relates to sports team-ownership ... ha !!
