I could see Tepper moving the team.

Tepper is not moving the team, he is digging in, and it's pretty obvious with all the moves he is making,  enquiring about property and actually acquiring property.

That's kind of what I thought.  He seems interested in building his portfolio in Charlotte to me...

If the NFL is going to EXPAND, they'd be looking at London or Mexico City first to get the ball rolling for more International play.

If Austin is going to get a team, it would more likely be a relocation -- like how the Bills previously threatened to move there.  But.. the Dallas area is clamoring for an AFC team (since New York and LA both have two teams in their metro areas) so there's potential for that to happen before Austin.

Still, as many others have said in this thread - the NFL likes having a team in the Charlotte/Carolinas area. While fans may be sour on the current edition of the team, Tepper has shown he's willing to throw $ around (still would have liked to have seen the Rock Hill facility built out, even if local gov't couldn't figure it out)

No chance either happens, ever.  It's the National Football League, not International.

The Panthers are here to stay, the business climate in the region is just too damn good to ever look elsewhere.

"International House of Pancakes" didn't start as an international business. 🤣

A more serious counterpoint: MLB's "World Series" is not World Wide.  

Better example: KFC is not isolated to Kentucky, and the three-letter branding de-emphasizes the original "Fried" name. The NFL can get by as an international brand, even with "National" as part of their name.

Care to walk us through the economics of player compensation for the owner/players of an NFL franchise domiciled in London?  Maybe compare & contrast with with the owner/players of say, Miami?

This economic analysis doesn't appear to cover the specifics you're asking about with regard to player compensation - but it does show the type of analysis that London and the NFL go through for some cost/benefit work:

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Basbear · Posted

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
