The overrated city of LA gets another team. Yawn. The NFL doesn't need LA, NY or Chicago to thrive.
Rams should be the #1 choice to move there. They are pretty much the only original LA team (save for two early years in CLE) and were relocated for utter stupidity the first time.
If it's gonna be one team, it has to be the Rams. They still have their core fan base in Los Angeles
>The NFL doesn't need LA, NY or Chicago to thrive.
LA maybe, but lolwut on the other two.
As long as they can actually draw i'm cool with it. It would look awfully dumb if somebody moved to LA and played to an empty stadium within a couple years.
The NFL can only do one team if it's the Rams, but the NFL has a policy of not moving teams from cities that have deals in line to keep them.
The Raiders/Chargers stadium project is a joint deal, one can't come without the other.
San Diego seemed to make no serious attempt to keep the team. They had a half hearted offer.
Are there any other obvious near-term future landing sites for the team(s) that don't move to LA?
If the Raiders and Chargers both end up in LA, you have to wonder about realignment. The NFL is going to want one of the LA teams in the NFC.
The Raiders had talked to some officials in San Antonio. The Raiders can't stay in the Coliseum no matter what, I feel like.
