With the NFL having a game in Mexico City today we all know the NFL wants a team outside the U.S. The big question seems to be have simply become whether London or Mexico City gets a team first and which teams those will be.

Do you believe the NFL should go outside the U.S.? I would be okay with it, with San Diego basically telling the Chargers they aren't building a new stadium, I feel like the San Diego team would be a great fit for Mexico City (being so close to Mexico they probably have a decent Mexican fan base already). I would say finally move the Buffalo team to Toronto and move the Jacksonville team to London.

The reason I just mentioned team too instead of their actual team name is because if this does happen I believe the NFL should stop moving team names with them. Especially going overseas there are better names that would capture those countries and cities culture. The Rams move made sense as they were already the LA Rams before and were really coming back home, but I would say let Jacksonville keep the Jaguars name and history, let San Diego keep the Chargers name and history and let Buffalo keeps the Bills name and history. That way they can reclaim those names if the NFL ever moved a team back to those cities. Similar to what happened with Cleveland and the Browns name, the Ravens were essentially considered an expansion team and Cleveland kept the Browns name and all Browns history.

So what do you think, should we have NFL teams based outside the U.S.? Should those teams keep the names of whatever teams moves from the U.S. or have their own names?
