The NFL has said it’s not interested in expanding to put a team in Los Angeles. But the NFL could be interested in growing by one in order to put a team in London.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported during Sunday NFL Countdown that the team that eventually is placed in London could be an expansion team.
Mort also said that the base of operations for a possible developmental league that would play at a single location on the East Coast would also serve as the home away from home for the London team, when it could come to the United States for two or three road games at a time.
The possibility of an expansion team in London raises the question of whether it would be one team or two teams that would be added to the league at that point, expanding to 34 teams -- and screwing up the current format of four teams and eight divisions.
