This one kind of sparked my interest. I don't remember it at all.

James B. Orthwein purchased the Patriots on May 11, 1992 with the intention of eventually moving the team to his hometown of St. Louis.

The Rams would have stayed put in LA, or moved somewhere else
I wonder if Boston would have whined as much as Cleveland did two years later, to the point of getting a new expansion Pats, maybe erasing the Panthers or Jags from existence
Denver would have had to go in a different direction with their new logo in 1996 (see picture below)

I'm certain there are plenty more examples of this. Serve 'em up!

Yes, the owner of the then Los Angeles Chargers wanted another team in California so the Raiders were born after the Minneapolis group switched to the NFL.
