Given the NFL currently has 32 franchises, I don't see the NFL or the
owners agreeing to add a 33rd franchise in DC unless the NFL and the owners are willing to expand to 36 franchises. I'm not sure the NFL (or the owners) believe there are 3 additional viable cities in North America so the AFC and NFC can switch back to 3 divisions of 6. Yes, there may be cities capable of hosting 1 regular season game (i.e. Portland, Mexico City, Toronto, St. Louis, Memphis, San Antonio, East Hartford, etc). However, there is a big difference between a location supporting 1 regular season game vs. supporting 1 franchise for the entire NFL season.
