When it comes to selling football tickets (or, you know, anything), the law of supply and demand applies. In Washington, the supply has been outweighing the demand in recent years. And so the time possibly has come for owner Daniel Snyder to shrink the inventory.

According to Mike Jones and Liz Clarke of the Washington Post, Washington may be exporting a 2016 home game to London. Other teams are under consideration. An announcement could come by next month.

The NFL is expected to stage three games in London next year, with a fourth international game played in Germany or Mexico.

As noted by the Post, Washington is one of the 12 teams that have not yet played a regular-season game in London. Eventually, more and more teams will have to give up home games, if the NFL intends to continue to play more and more games in other countries. At some point, the league will have to expand the supply of total regular-season games if it ever hopes to persuade teams with a high demand on tickets to host a game somewhere other than their home stadium.
