The NFL wants better options and offers on a stadium site in Los Angeles before a team actually makes a decision on relocating.
The St. Louis Rams are the clear frontrunner to move to Los Angeles when the time comes, according to Jay Glazer.

NFL Won't Relocate To Los Angeles In 2015
Roger Goodell told the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams that there will not be a team that moves to Los Angeles for next season, according to league sources.
Goodell also told the Chargers, Raiders and Rams -- each of whom can file a relocation application for the 2015 season starting Jan. 1 -- that any team that is considering relocating to Los Angeles should look to 2016 instead, according to sources.

NFL Appears Unlikely To Relocate To L.A. In 2015
Roger Goodell is expected to spend more time working on the NFL's issues with getting a team or teams to Los Angeles now that the new personal conduct policy is in place.
It currently sounds unlikely that a team will arrive in Los Angeles in time to play in 2015.
“There’s a schism about what to do in Los Angeles,’’ said one source with knowledge of L.A. effort. “The big issue is not only whether it should be one or two teams, and where the team or teams will be, but also which franchise should get the first shot? There is sentiment that [Rams owner] Stan Kroenke shouldn’t have the first shot. The Raiders are in horrible shape. The Chargers have a terrible stadium. In St. Louis, the city is trying at least to find a solution.”
Rams Send Players Acquired For RG3 For Coin Toss
Receiver Stedman Bailey, cornerback Janoris Jenkins, defensive tackle Michael Brockers, running back Zac Stacy, left tackle Greg Robinson and linebacker Alec Ogletree represented the St. Louis Rams as coin toss captains in their game on Sunday against Washington.
Those six players are the six on the team's active roster acquired with picks from the team's trade (and subsequent trades with other teams) with Washington in 2012. That, of course, was the trade that netted Washington the No. 2 overall pick, which it used on Robert Griffin III.
The Rams full-time captains are defensive end Chris Long, linebacker James Laurinaitis, punter Johnny Hekker and quarterback Shaun Hill.
NFL Won't Fine Rams Who Ran Onto Field With 'Hands Up Don't Shoot'
The NFL will not fine members of the St. Louis Rams that ran out onto the field displaying the "hands up don't shoot gesture" as a protest of the situation in Ferguson.
Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt were the members of the Rams that participated in the protest.
The St. Louis Police Officers Association released a statement demanding that the players be punished by the NFL. SLPOA's business manager Jeff Roorda was going to attempt to speak with the NFL and the Rams on Monday. Roorda is a former cop who was fired for repeatedly lying and falsifying reports.
