It honestly depends on their current market and attendance.  No way the Cowboys would leave Dallas, for example.  However, if the Jaguars' owner is going to pay for a new stadium, it wouldn't be in Jacksonville.  When you look at the teams that have left recently, the common thread is that they've been in the bottom of the league in attendance for years.  The Raiders had a great year last year, but were 31st in attendance.  The Chargers were 32nd.  The Rams were bottom 4 in attendance for going on a decade, but were 2nd last year after moving to LA.
