There are bigger metro areas than Cincinnati that do not have a NFL team, but there are also a few cities with smaller metro areas that do have a NFL team.

Cincinnati is ahead of:
Kansas City
Cleveland
Indianapolis
Milwaukee
Nashville
Jacksonville
Buffalo
New Orleans

Notable areas that do not have a NFL team but have 2+ million in metro area:
Portland
St. Louis
San Diego
Orlando
San Antonio
Austin
Sacramento
Columbus

So essentially, yes Cincinnati is big enough to house a NFL team but also there are enough metro areas that are larger where Cincinnati (and others) could move to that are bigger.

Don’t think they would give a shit about football in Portland. San Diego obviously doesn’t. Hell, California in general. Columbus would never, ever get an NFL team with the Buckeyes there. I don’t think any of those cities outside of maybe St. Louis are really good candidates for a team.
