Not exactly but a recent PFT report cited a League source suggesting that of all the teams thought to be candidates for a move to LA LA Land, the Bills make the most sense
An 80-something year old owner, a team that will be sold when he dies, a team that has limited corporate sponsorship opportunities, a team with an easy to break stadium lease, a team with among the worst season-ticket holder fan base....
So aside from wondering how they are going to address the name issue (The LA Bills?) Which team would/should take the Bills spot in the AFC East?
Obviously a move to LA would push a team out of the AFC West towards the east - creating a domino effect that would again give all Divisions 4 members
That means the Bills replacement comes from the AFC North or South
Jacksonville doesn't make sense as the NFL wouldn't want two Florida teams in the division.
Pittsburgh is the anchor of the AFC North - and the Steelers-Brown rivalry is something they probably don't want to break up.
While I'd love to see the Colts back in our division I think the NFL will probably want to keep at least one decent team in the AFC South.
My guess is that Baltimore is the likely candidate to get bumped into the AFC East, for logistical and balance of power purposes.... and after all, the only reason the Colts were previously in our division is because they used to be the Baltimore Colts.
Any other theories out there on what the best AFC & AFC East would look like if the Bills move west?
