Possibly moving franchises

Since we have an active new coach who is a "real-life" Raider fan, I'm thinking about moving my franchise out of Oakland and into a new city. This would allow Neil to take over as Oakland and keep the Raiders in the league.
I have a few cities in mind, but would find it interesting to see what franchise you would like to see back in the league playing in the AFC.
Here are the cities I'm thinking about:
Houston Oilers
Pittsburgh Steelers
Feel free to put in a "write-in" vote as well...

Could also do Memphis Oilers instead of Houston lol. That was actually where my first NFL game was. I watched Jacksonville vs Memphis in the Liberty Bowl stadium a year before they moved to Nashville.
If you could convince Barney to change the Vikings to the Broncos or Kansas City, we could have an old school actual AFC West. This would be my preferred choice, but if that isn't going to happen, I'd be partial to the Oilers.
Other options
Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati Celts
Dallas Texans (No relation to the current team)
St. Louis Gunners

Houston Oilers. Those powder blue uni's were ugly as hell. They struck fear into absolutely no one.

Lol. If we could get Mox to change to the Titans that would make for an interesting situation.

I hate all the moves we do, but I would vote Pittsburgh. Classic black and gold uniforms.

I would like to see the Steelers come back...Would Neil's team be the Oakland Raiders or would he move the Raiders to Las Vegas?

Except when Jerry Glanville coached the team

My heart will always be with the Oakland Raiders, but just like Mark Davis I will need to try and get out of Al's shadow (Mitch), so it would be on to Las Vegas...
I also vote for the Steelers.

@Steve - I'd vote Perez #1 and Tucker #2 this season. The Cards won the division using a 3rd string QB.
