I mean this is an obvious special case but it's hilarious how bad Rob Ryan's defenses have been and he keeps getting jobs

According to ESPN, the LA relocation voting is rumored to include a third option which is Rams and Raiders being paired together. Rams proposed the option but still waiting on the Raiders if they want to bail out on the Chargers or not to be made official.
Owners currently meeting to vote on if LA will get a team and who it will be. |

Hope its the Rams and Chargers moving to LA but really wouldnt care if all 3 went. Hate that Oakland cant get a new stadium built for the Raiders and them playing on a baseball diamond is ridiculous.

Rams to LA is official. Chargers have the option of joining them. Raiders will explore opportunities in San Antonio and could possibly even go to San Diego themselves if the Chargers bolt.

NFL Network (and about a million guys on Twitter) reporting the Raiders backed out and it's the Rams with "an option" for the Chargers to join them

Spanos promises to give San Diego a "fair chance" to agree to a stadium deal before they officially decide to go to LA, but he's often times been full of shit. After all of these years I can see why Archie didn't want Eli to go there.

Also I'll feel really gutted for San Diego if/when the Chargers move becomes official. St. Louis is clearly a baseball city and the Cardinals are good every year. San Diego will be left with nothing but the lousy Padres.

I don't know if the Davis family is really stupid or really smart. Either get out of the dump, or go build your own. It's that simple.
Just how much money is the NFL gonna give Oakland if they decide to stay? Football stadiums ain't cheap these days with costs crossing into the billions with Metlife Stadium and AT&T Stadium. |

Makes the most since. Rams in LA just sounds right. I would hate to see the Raiders in San Antonio but if thats what it takes to get them a new stadium then so be it. Color scheme would at least match the Spurs though.

Good for the Rams for getting a hell of a lot closer to their division rivals. Bad for St. Louis losing a team. Blues & Cardinals ain't going away anytime soon.

Rams really made St. Louis look bad. I dont even know if an expansion franchise would even consider them for a team if the league were to expand.

The Chargers are in a tough spot now. They aren't going to love the terms of a potential move to LA, Rams would stand to get the concessions money and a cut of ticket sales since the stadium would be owned by Kroenke.
At the same time, they totally threw their fans under the bus and it's tough to see the taxpayers voting for a new stadium. |

why is that even an option (Raiders going to San Diego) seems absurd, if the city can't even manage to keep the Chargers why the hell would a) the Raiders want to b) be able to move there |

San Diego don't want to lose their team and the NFL really doesn't want to lose that market. The problem is Spanos is a bit of an asshole and the city is pissed off at the Chargers from throwing them under the bus. Enough so that if the Chargers leave they might be enticed to actually give money to the Raiders to keep a team in the area.
Most likely though San Diego would just be used as a bargaining chip by the Raiders to try to get Oakland to fork over money. |

Also worth noting that the Chargers and Raiders both will be given money by the NFL to try and work out stadium deals with their current cities. The Chargers were given more than the Raiders, which suggests that the league doesn't actually want the Chargers to relocate if they can avoid it.
Fail to see how 2 LA teams isn't going to bomb spectacularly. |

Oakland also have the option of moving to LA in January 2017 if the Chargers decide to stay put. Chargers have until March to decide if they want to move for the 2016 season.

I really can't imagine how depressing it would be to have your team move away. It's sometimes hard for me to empathize since none of my teams are a threat to move (I don't count the Islanders going to Brooklyn, if anything that just assures they'll still be relatively "local" to me for the long haul) but shit...I can't imagine pumping hours into watching a team and going to a ton of games only for them to just peace out. |

Chargers being way too committed to the Chargers-Raiders plan to budge and Raiders giving several hints they'd be willing to back out probably made the NFL think Chargers were more likely to stay between the two. The Chargers getting $100 million seems like the NFL knows it would be enough to sway them to stay since the Raiders are going to bolt the second they get the opportunity now. St Louis as a possible choice for the Raiders got thrown under the bus when the Rams owner trashed the city in his relocation letter. |

The Raiders might do well to wait this out a little bit longer. Oakland is no longer the hell hole that it used to be and there is money all over the place there. As Oakland slowly gets gentrified into San Francisco 2, opportunities for a new stadium are going to present themselves eventually. Oakland is fated to become just a town of investors and millionaires. Between the money given for stadium upgrades by the NFL and private investors, something can probably happen

And if the Chargers have to stay in San Diego next year, that is going to be fucking bananas to watch. The fans already checked out at the beginning of this season. They totally feel betrayed by that organization. I'm sure if the Chargers end up staying, management will try to spin it like they never actually wanted to leave or something. It's all a clusterfuck.

Found it odd Lawrence Phillips died in jail like 2 hours after they announced the Rams were moving. He was drafted by the Rams in 96, the 2nd year they were in St Louis.

Chargers bring in Ken Whisenhunt to be the new Offensive Coordinator.
Whether this fixes things in San Diego is another question. |

The St. Louis Raiders or San Diego Raiders is a terrible idea.
Raiders need to stay in Oakland. I don't really care about any other teams moving. |
