And likely the Chargers too. Being approved by the owners right now. Ian Rap just tweeted this:

Interesting Ross is becoming a bigger player among NFL owners. He is the second-wealthiest

I could see the Raiders moving to San Diego if the Chargers join the Rams in Inglewood. The Raiders desperately want out of Oakland.

Those poor poor owners...
Honestly, I hate to see EITHER team move to LA. Both of these teams have experienced more success than the Dolphins in the recent past. Just goes to show you the business side of things. This **** makes me feel sad and old.

It's all about the money for the Davis family. The only reason the Raiders wanted to move to LA is a new stadium (same reason for the Rams and the Chargers). To keep everybody happy the Raiders may get a nice slushy gift from the $500 million relocation fee each of the teams have to pay. That way they can get their new stadium in Oakland.

What is truly ****ed up is that the Rams moved from LA to St Louis because they wanted a new facility. The Dome in St Louis was brand new in the early 90s. Now they do the same thing the other way.
I really begin to despise the NFL.

Seeding Oakland and SD $100mil/each to fund their new stadiums sounds magnanimous - but really in the scheme of things it's just chump change considering the reported relocation fee for each team is $500mil. If both teams take Goodell up on it, where will Kroenke's other $300mil go?
Glad you found a new home team to root for CO. I'd say I'd miss you around here but I've also been told lying isn't a quality of a gentlemen. But since I'm not a gentlemen,
I'm going miss ya Lil' Guy.
That's the correct choice, to relocate the Rams and Raiders while leaving Oakland in northern California. I posted that on a USC site a couple of weeks ago. I'm not surprised Jerry Jones figured it out.
The NFL has expanded the spotlight on one aspect after another but somehow the 4 PM Sunday games have been neglected. Those used to be the centerpiece games. Nowadays they are all but ignored. Sometimes there are only 3 of them, and not exactly high profile. Prior to Monday Night Football and even during the early years of that series the 4 PM games were still drawing the prime matchups. Dolphin games during our heyday were shifted to 4 PM all the time, even at home and often when we played at our nemesis Colts.
Moving the Rams back to Los Angeles is a natural first step to regaining spotlight on those 4 PM games. There will be more West Coast games by definition, whenever the Rams are at home. The Chargers should either stay put or move to Los Angeles to retain the balance of two northern California teams and two in the southland.
I'm thrilled that Inglewood is the site. I spent so many happy days in Inglewood while in college, either at Hollywood Park or the Forum, if not a double. We'd pile into my friend John's truck and bounce down the freeway from USC.
That Inglewood rendering is surreal. I still have to laugh at Steve Ross' assertions that our patchwork is the equivalent of a new stadium. Yeah, if your reference point is 25 years ago. You had to be a world class idiot to pay a fleck of attention. Our building is subpar now and is only going to be lapped and lapped again. You know damn well that stadium will be the immediate Super Bowl site and then quickly rolled over in the rotation every few years. Jerry Jones is a visionary. He built a state of the art stadium a half dozen years ago but knows that other structures are destined to top his, and he's not going to stand in their way. Just the opposite. I can just imagine the owners trying to decide between our 1987 patchwork and the stadiums otherwise available to them. I hope we enjoy our one pity renewal. Then we can try to pretend another half billion patchwork will earn a second Pity Bowl.

I like seeing the rams in LA, I wish we were playing them on the road next year instead of at home. One of our biggest wins ever happened at the Coliseum in 1982(against the Raiders) but by the time we play them in LA the new Stadium will be complete. of course if SD(I would hate to see them leave SD) or the Raiders move the Jets could play them there.
You guys play them in LA this year. your last game in LA was 1988, here was the into to that game:
