NFL owners approve measures related to potential L.A. move by Chargers
NFL owners, meeting Wednesday in the Dallas area, approved two measures related to a potential move by the San Diego Chargers to Los Angeles to join the Rams there.
The owners ratified a lease agreement between the Chargers and Rams in Inglewood, Calif. They also approved a debt waiver for the Chargers that would enable them to finance a portion of the relocation fee that would accompany a move to Los Angeles.
The owners’ approvals of the lease deal and debt waiver do not necessitate a Chargers’ move to the city. But they were necessary precursors to such a move if the Chargers decide to relocate, people within the league said this week.
The owners also are mulling a potential move by the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas. The Raiders cannot formally apply for relocation until after their season ends. Such a move would have to be ratified by at least 24 of the 32 owners.
