Both the Chargers and Raiders are considering a Giants/Jets type plan if both move to LA in the near future. Plan could theoretically go into effect as early as 2016.
They'd be willing to share the same stadium as a way to make the move more appealing to LA investors and also agree on one of them moving to the NFC for scheduling reasons. New stadium would cost around $1.7 billion to build in Carson, California. Quote:

Switch one for the Seahawks. They made the AFC West a joke by removing them.

I have a hard time seeing Seattle getting moved out of the NFC with Seattle/SF being one of the most hyped rivalries in the league now but I guess you never know.
Feel like the Rams would be the team getting switched over for some reason. |

Lions GM wants the NFL to consider the idea of expanding challenges to include penalties but only for those called on the field. Can't use replay to force a flag to be thrown under his idea.
Used the example of the flag pickup PI incident from the Lions-Cowboys controversy as an example. |

Obvious homer bias, but it's something that's always irritated me anyway. Something like defensive PI can potentially be the biggest play in a given game, even if we're just objectively talking from a raw yardage standpoint. To not be able to challenge a questionable call seems ludicrous to me.
I do agree with the "not using a replay to force a flag" part too. You can't throw a challenge because you thought there was holding or w/e... seems like that would cause way more problems than helps |

I like the idea of challenging questionable calls. V much in favor of getting calls correct.

I think they should take out automatic first downs for penalties.

PI is one of the shittiest penalties in the NFL, right up there with holding penalties.

If they share the stadium they might have to. Can't have two teams in the same division sharing the same stadium. Could be considered collusion otherwise.

Just swap the Raiders and Rams. They've both been horrible for a decade plus.

I think Raider Nation would probably riot on the street if you tried to move them from the AFC.

The Oakland Raiders have one of the largest national fan bases in the entire league, behind only the Steelers, the 9ers, the Packers, and the Cowboys.

Probably jersey sales since Raiders jerseys usually sell well every year. Last season they were 9th in the league in sales.

Considering the Raiders used to play in LA...I wouldn't imagine it'd be a big deal

Which is pretty impressive considering they don't really have any specific players on the current roster who seem like they'd be big jersey movers. |

Might know the Chargers future within the next 3 months since the city sped up work on a new package plan to try to keep the team in San Diego.
The city originally wanted until September to work on a package while the Chargers refused since that would have given the Rams way too much time to get their own LA plan done. Also likely worried the Raiders would drop out of their sharing deal if the wait was too long. |

Would really prefer San Diego to keep the Chargers and the Rams and Raiders move to LA.

I actually own a Raiders Starter jacket. It was my Dads and after his wreck I took it. I haven't worn it since they were in the Superbowl last though.

Countless Raiders fans in every low income area I have ever been to. Most places, really. But I am located near the Bay Area, so that is kind of cheating.

I don't know why they don't put that dog on the helmets. Or any logo at all.
