One other interesting thing mentioned was the competitive viability of the team. As a free agent, would you want to move your family to London? What about the tax implications? If I'm getting paid 90% of my salary because I'm paying foreign taxes, what's that do to my contract demands?
I can't see an NFL team staying on the road for two or more weeks. How many people is that in hotels for long stretches plus travel in between the games.

I wouldn't want to play for that franchise. A game a year over there is enough.
