NFL Merry-Go-Round: Relocation Roundelay

Not necessarily. Carson was always going to get at least those 5. They've been in Spanos' corner from the start.

There are only 2 proposals on the ballot. Either Rams/Chargers at Inglewood, or Chargers/Raiders at Carson.

The Chargers are moving to Los Angeles no matter what. Nothing new there.

Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC

I've said all along that Chargers/Rams at Inglewood would be the ultimate outcome. So I guess I'll either be completely right, or completely wrong.

This would be a fun scenario though...

- Kroenke buys the Denver Broncos from Pat Bowlen's family, turning over the Rams to the league.

- Chargers and Raiders go to Los Angeles, with the Chargers going to the NFC West and the Rams to the AFC West.

- Shalid Khan buys the Rams from the league, turning over the Jaguars in exchange.

- The league finds someone willing to operate the Jags in Jacksonville until the lease expires, then moves them to London.

LA Times article poll asking which team would fans like to see move to LA?:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-los-angeles-owners-meeting-htmlstory.html

49% want the Rams, 20% for the Raiders and only 5% for the Chargers but the league recommends the Chargers and Raiders, who got 11%. What's so great about the Carson project?

Kickbacks. The Glazer family owns significant interests in toxic waste removal: they dig it out and move it to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

We're gonna end up with the Raiders and Chargers playing on top of a toxic wasteland and the Rams moving to LA anyway. God, this league has become such a shell of it's former self.

I'll reiterate here that I'd get immense joy out of this if the League approves the Raiders and Chargers to LA, the Rams say FU and move anyway, and it goes to court.

Honestly though, Spanos needs to go :censored: himself. The Rams should move to LA. The Chargers should make an actual good faith effort to stay in San Diego. The Raiders could go to LA if need be, but ideally they would get league assistance to get something done in Oakland.

This means they'll be negotiating to make a deal work since there was no clear cut winner on the first round of voting.

I'm relived to see the Rams had more votes initially. That could mean that's the deal they are negotiating

Just out of curiosity, do you not believe the Rams should make a good faith effort in St. Louis? Or are you just saying that's the best market outcome so that's what they should do?

EDIT: I think this is referencing JUST the initial vote on whether Kroenke could relocated ALONE. (Without 24, he was not able to.)

This should all be pretty wrapped up soon. Here's the results of that first round of voting from St. Louis sportscaster Martin Kilcoyne (@martinkilcoyne2)

The #NFL owners began voting process with each proposal voted on. Inglewood #Rams vote was 21-8-3. 21 for. 8 against. 3 abstained. #fox2

Two items up for vote: Chargers/Raiders in Carson & Rams/TBD in Inglewood. Clear the Rams site is garnering more support at this point

This tells you all you need to know about the way the NFL has handled this.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

One item to discuss: If #Rams/TBD wins the vote and gets to 24, how to add a second team without violating the Carson agreement.

They're going to approve approve two teams in LA without knowing how they can legally get one of them there.
