With the raiders and chargers set to move and share the same stadium for the forseeable future, (The coliseum has been worked out, they want to use the rose bowl but owners/board have said no so far. When a new stadium is built they are planning to share it as well) A realignment will be forced to occur. Who will move, and where? Either the chargers or raiders will get the boot out of the AFC west, who will replace them?
Probably just swap out the Chargers with the Seahawks..
chargers and rams
create a real rivalry between the chiefs and rams
Are they actually set on having the same stadium?
Best cast scenario:
Chargers play in nice suburb like Pasadena
LA Faders play in shithole Carson or LA Coliseum
Is the LA area so gridlocked they can't build or renovate two stadiums?

Why would they? You think tax payers are going to want to fund 2 stadiums? They're just going the Giants/Jets route so they can have a "muh same stadium" bowl every 4 years and create a faux rivalry
Just saying...

Yes pls
I'd swap out a texas team with the raiders. Or chargers, really doesn't matter.
No reason for 2 teams in the same state to be in the same division, they should have broken up chargers/raiders years ago. And a texas team needs to be in the AFCW. I'd maybe settle for cardinals instead
NFC West: California Edition
49ers
Raiders
Rams
Chargers

It's 9am. Shut the fuck up.
>>64258101
I approve of this. Seems like we need a switch up anyways. You know. Since its possible two "sub .500" can get into the playoffs this year. Which groupings would be afc/nfc?
>>64258101
You'd basically fuck up every good rivalry. wouldn't fly.

This.
>Many of the NFL's most influential owners, including some on the league's Los Angeles Relocation committee, continue to have reservations about the Raiders' inclusion in the joint project with the Chargers in Carson, Calif. Their concerns over the strength of the Raiders' ownership group could result in no teams getting approval to move to LA in 2016, ownership sources said. Furthermore, multiple ownership sources said that the odds of a move happening to LA next year would be significantly higher if the Chargers were either moving by themselves, or if they were paired with the Rams.
>Other owners have doubts about whether or not Raiders owner Mark Davis has the acumen to build a strong franchise in a two-team LA market, sources said. And, given that organization's repeated moves under former owner Al Davis and the controversy that ensued -- including suing the league -- there remains a backlash to the Raiders going back to LA. Mark Davis is a polarizing figure, and as popular as Chargers owner Dean Spanos is among his cohorts, Davis is not held in as much esteem.
>Finding a way to get Spanos and Rams owner Stan Kroenke together is viewed as the best-case scenario for a two-team LA market, and although consideration hurdles exist, it may not be impossible if a vote is pushed back to 2017.
>With a potential vote in mid-January nearing, the Carson group still lacks the 24 votes necessary for any move. While the Carson project is generally favored over Inglewood within the membership of the Relocation Committee, its support is not universal, and sources said that support would likely be much higher should there be a solution that included the Rams and Chargers going to LA.
