I agree completely with your post as a whole.

As to the bolded part, they were actually talking about relocating to Jacksonville.

I definitely recall the late Bob Irsay discussing with Jacksonville city officials about moving the then Baltimore Colts to Jacksonville in 1979 but have no recollection of the Patriots talking about moving to Jax.  Any info on this would be great.   

A related question that comes to mind is did any other NFL franchise have discussions with Jacksonville officials about a possible move to Jax?

This particular article mentions the Patriots attempts to move to St. Louis.
