Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has been publicly committed to spreading the Jaguars brand since he bought the team. One way he's implemented this vision is by volunteering the team to play one home game per year at Wembley Stadium across the pond, but recent reports have projected the Jaguars as possibly picking up another home game per season at Wembley, leaving the team with just six home games in Jacksonville.
While any move from Jacksonville isn't in the near future, largely due to the Jaguars lease of Everbank Field, it's not impossible to think the Jaguars could move to the United Kingdom.
John Oehser, the team's senior writer for the Jaguars' official website, writes that it's unlikely another game would be taken out of the Jaguars' home schedule.
"The best way to put it is that in 2014-2016, yes, there is a chance for a second game overseas," Oehser wrote in his daily mailbag article. "It almost certainly will not be a second Jaguars home game. As for what happens after that, four years is a long time and much can change."
That pretty much sums up the consensus opinion of the matter at the moment, but it does raise another question. If the Jaguars take on the role of the home team, and the same fans see them a second time each season, will the Jaguars gain an advantage by being the de-facto home team? In essence, the Jags would then be playing nine home games and just seven away games.
Now, to put down some thoughts of scandal, it should be pointed out that the Jaguars won't have a "true" home game when they first start playing in the U.K., but if they gain a following there, it's possible the Jaguars could function well with two home cities instead of one for a short time period. If it goes well overseas, however, the league would likely want to move a team across the Atlantic or fill that void with an expansion team. It's at that junction when Jaguars fans should begin to worry about the future of the Jags in Jacksonville.
