The Jaguars, Dolphins, and Lions all are playing or have played game in London this season. The Arizona Cardinals announced their home and away opponents yesterday for 2015 but there was never any indication any of them would be in London.
As it stands right now, the NFL chooses teams that are willing to give up home games in order to be the home team in London. There has been talk about possibly changing that at some point.
Michael Bidwill has said yes, but don't want to give up home game. RT @Peebzey: @Cardschatter @nfl_uk are cards interested in playing in UK?

Understandable. Why would a team like the Cardinals want to give up a home game. With teams like the Cardinals it is much more than revenue you worry about. Now the NFL does help compensate teams but the Cardinals sell games out. Teams like the Jaguars have been a tough sell a home. So again, understandable why they would be chosen.
The Cardinals will end up in London at some point, as will every other team. The Cardinals have a sizeable fan base in the United Kingdom. Once they figure out how to get teams over there without giving up a home game. Although I don’t know what the solution to that is?
