Yeah Green Bay is more or less one of the pillars of the league, it's not like moving the Rams

I would prefer a loud public embarrassment to someone like Kliff who tricked them into running the Mike Leach offense for multiple seasons in the NFL

I also don't think he has anyone on defense who could run the scheme he was supposedly hired off of, that just so happened to have some of the most talented defensive players running it

I don't think Gannon will get fired unless he is Urban or Hackett levels of inept/embarrassing, which he very well might be.
Both those teams had high expectations, especially the Broncos. I think this is more of a Jim Tomsula hire in that he will be bad because they expect him to be bad then they will fire him because he was bad so they can hire someone good. I expect he'll be fired so the Cards can hire Ben Johnson to be the HC with a new young QB they draft #1 overall.

Absolutely, this is a team fully prepared to suck, unlike a lot of other teams that had better players and expectations. I think that if the bar for coaching were at floor level, Gannon would trip on it while talking about the need to always keep your eyes forward or some hokey bullshit

Those were top three I could think of, I just said five because it’s a nice round number. But if I had to fill out the top five I’d probably put the Giants and Bears in there as well. I’m talking leaving their home market entirely, not just moving to the suburbs, which the Bears seem pretty intent on doing.

I doubt the Bears, Eagles, Dolphins, Broncos, or 49ers would ever move. A few others too but thats all the thought I'm putting into it.

Those are great answers. They already moved the 9ers to Santa Clara tho. I got tripped up on the Giants for the same reason

They're still the San Fran 49ers though. Bears might move to a suburb but they're still the Chicago Bears. I guess it depends on your definition of "move". I was thinking along the lines of "Bears leave Chicago (area) for St. Louis" or "49ers leave SF (area) for San Diego" rather than "move down the highway to a more economical somewhere they get government money and/or cheaper land for a new stadium".

The city of Pittsburgh would be smoldering ash if the Steelers ever left the North shore at the confluence. The distance between old 3 Rivers Stadium and Heinz Field is like... a large parking lot?

I think we're done with full-scale relocation now that they finally got their LA teams (which was an important bargaining chip for decades). Fleeing to the richer (whiter) suburbs is the new hotness.

Yeah now that LA/Vegas has teams what cities would even be candidates for a move or expansion?

San Diego and St Louis probably the most likely since they already had teams, but then...what? San Antonio? Salt Lake City? Portland? Nothing particularly jumps out as a viable billionaire leverage town to hold anyone ransom

Saints to San Antonio was the big threat before they won a Super Bowl. Texas seems like the most obvious candidate for a relocation.

Yeah, Texas or London would also be my suggestions, and I wouldn't dismiss a wild card city like Toronto. Wasn't that a potential rumor for the Bills at one point before they became good again?

Mexico City and Toronto are by a wide margin the biggest cites in NA without teams, but Mexico presents a lot of challenges Toronto doesn't (elevation, height, relatively much greater cultural and economic difference). Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Montreal are all also bigger than the biggest US metro without a team (unless you count Tijuana in with San Diego, who tbf should never have lost their team). Then it's St. Louis, and a big logjam of Portland/Orlando/Sacramento/San Antonio, all of which are both much smaller and fairly well established fanbases for existing teams.

The Chargers have a 20 year lease to stay in LA which means as soon as Dean Spanos no longer owns the team the new owner will break the lease as soon as they can get a new stadium built.

I'd include the Lions quite high up on this list. They're the 5th oldest franchise and have been in Detroit since 1934. Also, if they were going to move driven by "this team stinks" reasons then it sure as poo poo would have happened by now.
