Possible division re-alignment in the AFC West!
The current speculation would be that the Chargers would move to the NFC and the Cardinals would be brought into the AFCW.

LA, SF, Phoenix and Seattle will be a great division.
I really hope that St. Louis gets one of the AFC West teams because the rivalry, whether its they Raiders or Chargers, would be awesome, IMO. |

Raiders to San Antonio? City willing to host team on temporary basis
Los Angeles might not be the only option for the Raiders potential relocation in 2016. Thanks to San Antonio, it looks like the Raiders now have a second option open to them that doesn't involve staying in Oakland. The Mayor of San Antonio, Ivy Taylor, said over the weekend that her city would be willing to serve as the Raiders home if the team decides to move to LA, but needs a place to play until a new stadium is built. "We would be open to that," Taylor told the San Antonio Express-News. "We are already making improvements over there for the (2018) Final Four, so we would be open to that." The reason the Raiders might need a place to play is because the earliest an LA stadium would potentially open is 2018. The Inglewood stadium plan, which is being pushed by Rams owner Stan Kroenke, could be open in time for the 2018 season. The Carson stadium plan, which involves the Raiders and Chargers, likely wouldn't be finished until 2019 at the earliest. If two teams were to announce a move to LA, the city might not be able to handle both of them right away. The Rose Bowl has already announced that it has no interest in hosting a temporary NFL team, meaning the LA Coliseum is the only stadium that has publicly stated it would be willing to host a temporary team. So if two teams move, one of them might need a viable temporary location and that's where San Antonio would come in. "I think it would give NFL fans here the experience of having a team here locally and it would further highlight the assets of San Antonio to the NFL," Taylor said. "Should there be any expansion or other moves, it lets the NFL know San Antonio is a viable option." Wherever the Raiders end up, it's looking less and less like it's going to be Oakland. After the NFL's relocation meeting on Aug. 11, NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman said that Oakland had "no viable proposal to keep the Raiders. "The Oakland Raiders have great fans. The facts on the ground are there's been no viable proposal that's been made to the Raiders," Grubman said. "We've said one thing consistently to any of the markets and it really rests on a couple of pillars. One of them the proposal has to be specific. The second is it has to be attractive to a team. And the third is it has to be actionable." San Antonio might be a long shot to host the Raiders, but at this point, it seems like Oakland is too. The Raiders one-year lease with Oakland expires at the end of the 2015 season. Teams are allowed to apply for relocation between January 1, 2016 and Feb. 15, 2016, although it's believed that the league will soon shrink that window. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-...emporary-basis

The Rams will move to LA. Either the Chargers or Raiders will pay Kroneke rent to play in his stadium.

It's funny that the main reason it wouldn't be the Seahawks is because they're just too good now. I get it, but really it shouldn't matter.

This has zero interest for me. I like the AFC West just the way it is.

Yes but not in reality.
Kroenke has enough money to challenge the league in court. The Chargers and Raiders owners do not. That said, the Chargers and Raiders do not have a stadium lease agreement after the 2015 season, so the door is slightly open for a move. The Chargers would have to pay San Diego $17.6 million dollars to leave. The Raiders still owe the Oakland City Council $400k for last year's lease and are currently under contract for the 2015 season. They'd have to seek NFL approval because Mark Davis has zero wealth outside of Raiders ownership. |

I know two Chargers fans... and that rivalry to me, enh... not really there, never has been. I'm fine with the Chargers leaving. Raiders have to stay though.

Division and conference realignments don't faze me in the least.
You could replace the Raiders and Broncos and I'd still hate those cheater and criminal ****s. |
