It’s a good thing Mr. Khan picked Jacsonville because we are the NFL. William M. Raines High School, Jacksonville,FL has produced more professionals in the National Football League (NFL) than any other high school in the nation in history. Starting with Ken Burroughs of the Houston Oilers and Harold Carmichael of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1970s and have continued the tradition. Among its alumni are Denver Broncos defensive back Brian Dawkins and New York Jets defensive back Lito Sheppard wide receivers Kevin Youngblood, Harold Carmichael, Rod Gardner, Derrick Gaffney, Denver Broncos wide receiver Jabar Gaffney and former Oakland Raiders running back DeJuan Green.

Weaver didnt mean he wasnt going to sell the team. He meant he wasnt going to sell the team to Chris Mortensen. Come on where could Morty get that kind of money?

Moving a team from one place that doesn’t care about them or pro football to another place that doesn’t care about them or pro football.

Hmm, a cultural blackhole like Jacksonville that barely has enough hotels/decent restaurants to support major events or an exciting town with tons of great places to see like LA that is the 2nd largest market. Gee, that’s a tough decision for Mr Khan.

So, what some of you guys are saying is that Jacksonville is being Shaheet-Khan-ed in favor of LA… right?

I live in St.Louis and people think the Rams will move back to L.A. because Stan Kroenke will not commit to staying in St.Louis and is on the L.A. Stadium Board.

Then Khan will move the Jaguars to St.Louis where the franchise should have been in the first place. It came down to Jacksonville an St.Louis for the #30 Expansion Franchise and they gave it to Jacksonville instead of St.Louis. It was going to be the St.Louis Stallions.

Epic Fail move for the NFL thinking Jacksonville would be the Green Bay of the South

…………..and further more, the reason he went after the Rams had nothing to with location. Do you honestly think billionaires worry about flying in their private jets to games?

The reason he targets franchises like St. Louis and Jacksonville is, #1 they are for sale, and #2 they are located in small markets and are way undervalued compared to what they would be worth in LA.

This is a business decision being made by a businessman.

I wonder if the real owner of this LA team will be Ari Gold therefore be called the LA Gold. What if?!?!

Shahid Khan? Withe a name like that it’s probably going to be more like the Saudi Arabia Jaguars.

Nice…….maybe he can relocate the team to Afghanistan so the Taliban can see the game of football.

At least in LA they can keep the name and just change the logo to an XF. (That’s a real nice expensive car to all you Jacksonville fans out there. Colorful flames and spoilers will cost you extry.)

Khan was reborn in the NEXUS of Joy with Kirk.

Erstwhile known as LA.

Can we all say hello La’Jaguars!

I bet dumping Del Rio & Weaver eating his contract was phase one in this deal.

Seriously though, Del Rio should have been gone like 2 or more years ago. This team is a total mess…..

I misread the headline. I thought at first it said the Jags were being sold to CHAKA KHAN.

Shahid Khan is based in the Champaign-Urbana region in Illinois. I live in Central Illinois and followed his (unfortunate) failed bid to buy the Rams. My thought is that he merely wanted to buy a team and the Jags happened to be for sale. He had reasons to purchase the Rams: favorite team, close to St. Louis, bi-state ties. He has no known connection to the Jags. Either he just wants to own a team and is willing to abide by the terms of a sale agreement or he wants to move the team to wherever he won’t be required to shell out serious cash for a new or totally revamped stadium.

Hypothetically:

If the Jags are sold and relocated, how would the AFC realign to accomodate a move to the LA market?

West = Oakland, San Diego, Denver, LA-Jags
South = Indy, Houston, Tennessee, KC

Losing those old KC rivalries would be ugly.

Is there a chance that they relocate to London? If so, here is how realignment might look:

East = New England, NYJ, Buffalo, London
South = Indy, Houston, Tennessee, Miami

Losing the Miami rivalries would be equally ugly.

The insistance of expanding into LA and London is going to kill some old rivalries that might actually alienate alot of NFL fans. The league needs to be careful about making such moves.

@realitypolice

Actually, since he lives over in Illinois (closer to STL than CHI, I believe), the big assumption was that he WOULD do everything to keep the Rams in St. Louis, as he’s a fan. He has NO L.A. ties (unlike say, Kroenke).

Actually, my first thought was, if Kroenke moves the Rams back to LA – does Khan (and yes, all of St. Louis was doing “KHAAAAAAAAN!” when he tried to buy the Rams) move the Jags to St. Louis so he doesn’t have to go halfway across the country to see his home games?
