London is a HUGE city and between the Brits that like American football and American servicemen, and ex-pats, a team in London would draw plenty of interest.

The problem is the travel. I'm not sure they could make it work without at least an entire division in Europe. I think I read something a while back about the return of supersonic air service to Europe. That might make it workable, but still the travel to and from the west coast to Europe would be brutal.

You’re essentially adding two weeks to the season. I don’t see how the NFLPA would go for this without a 2nd bye week.

Oh they'll get that second bye, that extends the season so now you are at a 20 week regular season.

All they'll have to do is tell the players the cap is increasing x amount.
