The NFL last expanded in 2002. It's currently the longest stretch in league history without the addition of a new team.
The recent comments from the Commissioner regarding the inevitability of an international team essentially open the door to the growth of the league beyond 32 franchises.
Goodell said "there will be teams outside the USA." Plural. So either two teams will move to another country, or the NFL will add two teams.
Who would relocate? The Jaguars have a new long-term lease, to go along with their ongoing renovation project. There's no other candidate to uproot from domestic soil and set up shop on foreign soil.
And, again, it would be teams.
