Quote:Shad Khan is a legitimate billionaire who has far more to gain by making Jacksonville, a city many consider having no business being considered a major U.S. location, a legitimate football and economically sound town.


Look at the dudes history. He prides himself off doing the stuff people think is unlikely to impossible. He doesn't care about making a few xtra dollars in london. He's building the practice facility over there so he can corner a market and build a brand, all the while making money hand over fist, all the while owning the team from Jacksonville and only sacrificing 1 game a year, which a quarter of the league does already anyway. The man is absolutely nothing short of brilliant, business wise.


I might be wrong, but I'd bet heavy otherwise.

 

Khan has invested heavily in Jacksonville both directly impacting the team, and also in the city itself.  That will continue.

 

Quote:If Shad Khan wanted to move us to London, why is he building the 5,000 seat amphitheater here and trying to lure the combine/draft to Jacksonville? Why would he build the worlds largest video scoreboards and the nicest locker rooms in the NFL? He also had a verbal gentleman's agreement with the Weavers to not move the team. I think Khan is a man of his word and all these signs are pointing to him keeping the team in town and investing in the city. 

 

 

I think what Khan wants is for the Jaguars to be an international team. Home is always Duval but we have a lot of games overseas and we have a wider fan base.

 

The Bills seem like a good candidate to move. That stadium must be nearly 50 years old, buffalo is a small market, and it sucks. Maybe they can move to Toronto or something. 

 

Bingo.

Well, this kind of article won't allow hand wringers to grind.

 

Quote:I was watching ESPN and Ashley Foxx was discussing about the league's desire to put a team in London and they will vote on it in 2020. Its being reported that Shad is having a practice facility being built and i truly hope this isn't the first step of our team being ripped from us as a city. I love the NFL and most importantly, i love my team like a family member so it would break my heart if i have to suffer the same fate as a fan just like the citizens of San Diego, Oakland and St. Louis respectively. I hope someone on here can shed light on the latest reports and i truly hope that Shad is truly committed to the city of Jacksonville. If it's not this team Ashley Foxx referring to in her recent live report on Sportscenter then what other team being placed in London if that's the league desires in the near future? 

 

She has zero insight into which team it could be, or even if the league is fully committed to putting a team in London.  That much is clear, so all of the hand wringing your doing over this is pretty much wasted energy.
