The Rams came from St Louis, although they were in LA originally.
I doubt the NFL will add any expansion teams anytime soon, since the existing 32 owners don't want to dilute their TV revenues. We're probably stuck in this pattern where small-market teams move to bigger or faster-growing markets (Jaguars? Bengals? Ravens?) Texas seems ripe for a 3rd NFL team in the Austin/San Antonio area.
Overseas expansion seems farfetched to me, at most we might get Toronto. London is too far away to make the TV coverage profitable with the time change, and Mexico City isn't wealthy enough to bring in the same revenue as a US city.
