Conspiracy Theory: Khan is putting out a losing product so that no one cares once the team moves to London

Yes, it will be two games in London. One home, one away. What happens if the Jaguars eventually manage to turn London into an actual home away from home and other teams complain that the Jaguars have an unfair advantage when playing an "away" game there? That'll be when it gets interesting to see what the league does. Do they continue to allow the Jaguars to play what amounts to a ninth home game, do they scale the Jaguars back to one London game a year, or do they try and find a way to pay the city and EverBank (and any other sponsors whose contracts have a seven-game provision) enough that they're willing to cut the Jacksonville deal to six games a year and ship two to London?

 

I don't think the team would ever move there. I don't think there will ever be an NFL team permanently based in London, tbqh. I suspect that what's more likely to happen is the NFL expands its London schedule to eight games per year with several different teams "hosting" a game. The logistics and competitive disadvantages that would face a London-based team are just too much to overcome without the NFL making special rules for a London team. Those rules would, of course, anger US-based owners.
