The NFL has no interest in moving a team somewhere unless they build a state of the art tax payer funded stadium that bends over to kiss an owners ass. The Rogers centre is a dillapidated cookie cutter multi sport stadium that represents to apex of a failed era in sports stadiums. Unless Toronto decides to implode that thing and build a football only stadium on that property or another place thats got a great location the NFL will never even consider Toronto.
The NFL doens't want the hastle of currency conversion, visa's, immigration and all the other things that would be associated with Toronto. So the only way Toronto ever gets a sniff is if they step up and wow the hell out of the NFL brass with the greatest stadium ever thats fully tax payer funded. Which is something that will never happen.
Potential owners can pony up all the money they want, but the rest of the NFL will avoid it as much as they possibly can. Theres a reason Benson didn't take that offer. Had that offer come from a Los Angeles ownership group, he probably bites.
