New Orleans is the logical franchise to move to Toronto, or Jacksonville.
The NFL cannot pass up a market almost as big as New York
The Saints are top-10 in attendance.
New Orleans is a small city, but it draws from a wide area. Other than the NBA's Pelicans, there's no other pro franchises for 4-5 hours in any direction. The Saints are the most popular pro team of any sport in every county in Louisiana, almost every county in Mississippi, more than half of Alabama, and the Florida panhandle.
I live in the panhandle Of Florida and I can confirm this Saints country. Stickers everywhere on cars. ThecSaintscare a great beloved franchise going nowhere.
