I was all for SD moving until I heard they would share it with Oakland...
If it does happen, one of the two will have to move to NFC (most likely NFC West) and I see Arizona swapping for Chargers because they can't afford the OAK/SF violence twice every year or break up SEA/SF. If the Rams move as well, that's just gonna be a mess.

Honestly, my preference is that St. Louis go back to L.A. and the Raiders and Chargers stay put. If the Rams stay, the the Raiders go back to L.A. and the Chargers stay put.
This sharing a stadium stuff is silly. Especially division rivals sharing a stadium. Those two games against each other would be a NIGHTMARE. And having to re-align because of that is awful. The NFL divisions are great the way they are right now. No reason to mess that up.

I mean, the Pokes and Rams are a bit awkwardly placed, but the Pokes should NEVER move divisions and the Rams suck so...I'm inclined to agree.

I don't think they have 1.7 billion to spare.

If it comes down to it, the city and the taxpayers will end up paying for at least half of it. Because sadly, that's how it works. They always find a way to get it done, even when the fans and citizens don't want it. Then when the stadium is built, they will put in PSLs to pay for it too.

I will say that if the Chargers move I'm done supporting them. I'll move on.
I support them because of the city they represent.

I just read that the chargers & raiders plan was a strictly private funded stadium where taxpayers' wallets aren't affected, unless of course, they buy game tickets. I'm hoping SD figures it out and gets a stadium plan approved, because I'd rather much visit SD over Carson for games. But if not, oh well, SD has been delaying this for a long time. Fans may not be loyal in the LA County but there will be revenue.

If the shared stadium with the Raiders and Chargers goes through there needs to be some division realignment since it makes zero sense to share a stadium with a divison rivel

Both L.A. stadiums would be privately funded. Los Angeles doesn't have the funds to build the stadiums. From what I have heard the tax on the tickets would be 30% though.

So I don't know what's happening with the Dez video situation, but the NFL can't afford this.

Ray rice beat his girlfriend at the time, Greg hardy also was arrested for it, the whole patriots mess, some NFL employee stealing things, the horrible officiating all year, and now this possibly. I honestly honestly believe they need a new gm and Godell is in WAY over his head at this point

After watching him in Green Bay the last few years, I'd love for us to find a way to pick up Randall Cobb.
But knowing the Chiefs the last few years, we will most likely sign no one helpful, let a few good to great players leave, and then give someone money right before training camp (Looking at you, Houston)

Apparently the Bills traded for Shady McCoy? Who the trades away literally 75% of their offense?

Don't know what the my Eagles are doing. Best running back in the funking league. Hopefully Kiko can produce for us. At least we'll have $57 million in cap space. If we can pick up Byron Maxwell, Haloti Ngata and CJ Spllier in free agency I will be pleased.

Strange trade. I don't get it from either side. Eagles free up a ton of cap space but lose a big weapon.
The Bills trade away a promising young, cheap LB for a RB making $10M and possibly on the decline. Shady is still good, but he is a RB. Their shelf-life is short. Good one season and hit the wall the next. Most only give you 4 or 5 good yrs. Bills likely bring in D. Harris now which was already expected. Obviously they plan to run the ball and play defense there.
Eagles can have their pick in free agency now.

looks like the Chargers are on the short list of teams Adrian Peterson wants to be traded to or sign with

The more I think about it this trade is actually good.
Kiko being very young. Definitely on the rise and we get so much cap room. Definitely excited to see what we do with it!
