The NFL may wait until March to decide which team or teams move to Los Angeles.

The Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers are each considering relocation to Los Angeles.

Waiting until March would put each of the teams in a difficult situation in regards to season ticket holders.

"Should the owners approve the move, Los Angeles will proudly welcome two incredible teams to our community and build a stadium worthy of their fans," Iger said in a statement. "LA football fans will enjoy unprecedented access to games during the season, in a state of the art stadium designed to deliver the most entertaining, exciting and enjoyable experience possible."

 

The stadium, should it be built, will be constructed by the city of Carson and leased by the teams through Carson Holdings.

Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler Have No Hard Feelings For Each Other

Nov 6, 2015 11:14 AM

Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers were AFC West rivals for several seasons, but the bad blood has evaporated during Cutler's time with the Chicago Bears.

“I have no issues with Jay at all,” Rivers said. “There will be a normal handshake, just like with all the other quarterbacks. There are really no hard feelings there whatsoever. There weren’t really any even that night, or after. Obviously the hype that ensued kind of built it up.

“It was just the timing of it really more than anything. Shoot, there are a lot of interactions like that that happen out here on this practice field during training camp with my own teammates. So, there’s nothing malicious about it. But you look back and go, 'That’s crazy what was made of it.' In hindsight you wish it probably never happened, but it was certainly not the big deal that it turned into.”

Cutler praised Rivers on a conference call with San Diego-area reporters.

“I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for him,” Cutler said. “He’s been a staple in this league for a long time. He’s put up huge numbers year in and year out. This year is no different. And no matter what their record is, what point of the game is or what the score of the game is, you know you’re going to get his best effort. He’s fun to watch.”
