In a bold move that could reshape the NFL landscape, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has expressed a \"serious opportunity\" to relocate the Kansas City Chiefs to his city. The Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, were originally based in Dallas as the Texans before moving to Kansas City in 1963.
Mayor Johnson took to X earlier this week, sharing a heartfelt message: \"Welcome home Dallas Texans.\" This nostalgic nod to the team's origins suggests a deep commitment to bringing the Chiefs back to Dallas.
According to Johnson, he has engaged in conversations with Clark Hunt, the current owner of the Chiefs and the son of the team's original owner, Lamar Hunt. While Johnson did not disclose further details, he emphasized, \"I have a good open line of communication with Clark Hunt,\" adding, \"And that line of communication remains.\"
Should the relocation materialize, it would mark a significant shift in the NFL, reigniting Dallas's legacy in the league and potentially sparking new rivalries and fan engagements across the country.
