Jaguars a Los Angeles Candidate? Not so fast.

by Alfie Crow on Sep 23, 2011 9:59 PM EDT in Jacksonville Jaguars News

Yes, yes. I know we all know that the Jacksonville Jaguars are not a realistic option to move to Los Angeles, despite it being the low hanging fruit for most journalist and NFL fans. However, I wanted to give a kudos to ESPN's Arash Markazi for putting in the work and doing the research as to why the Jaguars aren't really a viable Los Angeles candidate.

@ArashMarkazi
Arash Markazi Jaguars aren't in the running to move to L.A. Lease runs through 2029, is almost impossible to break & Weaver isn't looking to sell or move.

Markazi's article on who's actually in the running for Los Angeles can be read here on ESPNLA.com.

I have always liked Arash.

I live in the L.A. area, and I get to read alot of his articles because he is one of the head reporters for football in L.A. for ESPN Los Angeles. He really does his homework before coming out with articles. That’s rare, especially for ESPN.

I thought that I heard...

That the chargers are moving to LA. When I lived in San D, they had more blacked out games than we did and their fan base is not supportive of the team if they’re not doing too well. It’s full of bandwagons.

The Chargers and/or Raiders in my opinion are highly likely to go to LA.

I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

My money is on the Chargers and Rams/expansion team

I remember reading/hearing on NFL Network that Goodell is entertaining expanding the NFL by 2 teams.

Kroenke has business tie ins with AEG.

I feel a lil better now but….I’m waiting on da day, breaking news of whichever team moves to L.A just to shut up all JAGUARS haters!

Personally I think 32 teams is enough, the divisions are perfect @ 4 a piece….the more teams u have the more it’ll seem watered down…….look @ da NBA..
