A new expansion team could be coming to the NFL soon

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson feels that the city of Dallas could hold two NFL teams with its growing population.

The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world with an estimated value of 5,7 billion. Like them or hate them, the Cowboys are a massive draw in television ratings, jersey sales and the pure media world as well. Everyone wants to talk about America's team.

Here is the tweet sent out by the Mayor yesterday:




Johnson also mentioned on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on social media that the "City of Dallas won't be allowing any more teams who don't actually have any of their assets located within our city limits to use our name." The mayor mentioned Frisco -- which is 28.5 miles north of Dallas -- as a candidate for that second team. Johnson mentioned the Los Angeles Chargers or Jacksonville Jaguars as candidates, not taking the expansion route altogether in this scenario.


I actually think he has a good point that an additional NFL team in Texas would most definitely thrive.
