The Jaguars have hosted games in London for the past six years and will return for at least two more
NFL ownership most likely would "support a move of the Jaguars to London" if team Owner Shahid Khan "wants to do it," according to a source cited by Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK. But it is "unknown" whether Khan actually wants to do it. There is a chance he "wants to have a split schedule between Jacksonville and London, playing more games in England and making more money than he makes playing games in Florida." The league would likely "support that approach as well, because the thinking is that, if the Jaguars don’t move to London, there’s no other current candidate to relocate to a location outside the U.S." (PROFOOTBALLTALK.com, 10/31).
ALL ABOARD THE PIRATE SHIP: In Tampa, Eduardo Encina noted with the NFL "increasing its slate of games in London to four next year," it appears that the Buccaneers would "be on the list of teams likely to play there" in '19. There have "not yet been any discussions," but the Bucs will "definitely have to play a game internationally within the next few years." Any team that hosts a Super Bowl -- as Raymond James Stadium will in '21 -- "must host one home game internationally." Next year's Bucs schedule includes a game against the Jaguars, who have "hosted games in London for the past six years and are committed to returning for the next two seasons." Any team that hosts a game in London receives an additional $1M from the league "on top of revenue lost from moving a home game" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 10/31).
