Whatever the NFL decides to do about the two-decades-and-counting Los Angeles situation, it’s clear they want to do it soon.
That doesn’t mean we don’t have time for a last-minute wrinkle.
According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, one owner suggested there’s still time for some outside-the-box thinking, at a time when most are only considering how to chop Los Angeles and three existing markets up among the Chargers and/or Raiders and/or Rams.
“The best solution might be something that’s not even presented,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. “There might be Plan C.”
Khan did say he thought the league could still end up with a team in Los Angeles in 2016. But with negotiations ongoing, and talk of international games at an all-time high, it’s clear that if there’s leverage to be played, now’s the time to play it.
