I seriously doubt they ever do this but regardless, the majority of their fan base resides in Virginia, the Redskins ARE Virginia's team, the Ravens are primarily Maryland's team. The Redskins are smart by keeping there training facility and headquarters in VA as well as moving their practice facility into VA. Why fight for fans in Maryland with the Ravens when you can stake claim to Virginia, which is a much larger state with more people?

With Virginia already diehard Skins, tbat would be more reason to stay in PG. No business simply cedes market share that it has a viable stake in it, instead it will normally invest in expanding into new markets. Your contention that Virginia is already diehard, along with the fact that there really isn't another franchise likely to take Va fans away en masse means the Skins likely will try to strengthen its Maryland presence not lessen it.
