The NFL needs a team in the D.C. market. Look how they made sure they got back into L.A. even though it's not really an NFL town, the Lakers and Dodgers rule there.

Where would they even go? San Diego? Oklahoma City? St. Louis? The league would never give up the D.C. market for a smaller city.

The team is already in a prime TV market, so there is zero chance they'd move. And I say that confidently, since the NFL makes most of their money from TV deals.

This is why the Chargers and Rams moved from their small city markets to LA. Even if no one cares about the teams, people in the LA TV market will watch game, and that's more important to owners.

Hell, the DC area TV market is one of the main reasons the Maryland move to the Big 10.
