Roger Goodell said that if the NFL returns to L.A. it's probable that the league will add two expansion teams instead of moving an existing franchise. This should be good news to Bills fans. I'm not one that's ever thought the Bills were a possibility for L.A. as things stand right now, but Ralph Wilson could pass away at any moment and once that happens the fate of the franchise is up in the air. If they can secure two expansion teams in L.A. though, I think Toronto becomes the only real threat to stealing the Bills away.
NFL Might Expand to 34 Teams

Re: NFL Might Expand to 34 Teams
No way they try two teams in L.A. again. It failed the first time, and it'll fail again. One in LA is enough. So where would you put team 34?
Besides, 34 makes for awkward divisions. 6/6/6/6/5/5? 9/8/9/8? I doubt they continue with the eight-division format, given that it's easier to win a division now than to get a wild-card. Heck, even 33 (11/11/11) would work better than 34.
Goodell can talk about it as much as he wants. Relocation is far more feasible than any attempt at expansion, especially to 34.

Give Toronto the other expansion! Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, San Antonio might be able to do it.Last edited by ParanoidAndroid; 02-03-2012, 03:10 PM.

It sounds to me like there will be no football in LA in the forseeable future.

Re: NFL Might Expand to 34 Teams
32 is a nice number. Let Jax, Minnesota or SD move into the LA market and call it a day. Buffalo isn't going anywhere.YardRat Wall of Fame

That stadium is fairly new, but with all the new stadiums that have just been built, it needs an upgrade to remain in the top 25%.
I would not be surprised to see the Rams move, but then St Louis would most likely try to get another team from another City.
