On Wednesday afternoon, NBC Sports/NFL Network reporter Alex Flanagan tweeted: “NFL has framework of a stadium deal between the rams/chargers”.

Fans of the NFL Rams celebrated the team’s return to Los Angeles.
When the Rams take the field for their regular season opener in September, they will end the NFL’s 21-year journey back to a sprawling, vibrant city that loves both a spectacle and a victor. For one, he has to notify the city of San Diego between February 1 and May 1 whether he will renew the team’s year-to-year lease.
The Rams are moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles, and there’s no one to like in the whole greasy affair. “No decisions have been made, and no serious review of a proposed framework for a Rams-Chargers deal has yet begun”.

So now that we’ve got the Rams coming to the Los Angeles area, the big question is: Will the Chargers dump San Diego and join the Rams in Inglewood?
“I wanted ESPN to know we have our own city and we have our own mayor”, Butts said, drawing cheers from the fans. The Chargers have a yearlong option to join the Rams, followed by the Raiders if the San Diego franchise declines.
If San Diego voters approve a financial package to build a stadium here, the Chargers’ Los Angeles option would be extended an additional year.
“I’m going to take a day off tomorrow I think”, Spanos said.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s vision of a $1.86 billion complex with shops, restaurants and attractions built near the old Hollywood Park race track and the renovated former home arena of the NBA Los Angeles Lakers in Inglewood was an offer the National Football League could not refuse.
“There will be life without the Rams here in St. Louis, I can assure you that”, Slay said, adding he has “no appetite” for seeking another NFL team because of dishonest practices of the league in the relocation matter.
“I will be working over the next several weeks to explore the options that we have now created for ourselves to determine the best path forward for the Chargers”, Spanos said following the owners’ vote Tuesday.

Pankey was drafted by the Rams in 1980 out of Penn State and played 11 seasons in Los Angeles as a left tackle. The solution to the drop in attendance, in Kroenke’s mind, was to blame a depressed economy in St. Louis and move the franchise west to warmer weather and deeper pockets. He said he would do everything he could to keep the team in St. Louis, but there was clearly an agenda.
