Chargers Could Be Closer to Los Angeles Move, Sources Say

iStock/Thinkstock(SAN DIEGO) — The San Diego Chargers could be closer to utilizing the team’s option to move to Los Angeles next year, sources told ESPN.

At the NFL owners meeting last January, the league allowed the Chargers the option to relocate to L.A., giving the team a Jan. 15, 2017 deadline to decide. It was in that same meeting that the league authorized the Rams to move to L.A., ESPN reports.

If Chargers chairman Dean Spanos decides to move his team in January, it won’t be without obstacles. A move would mean the Chargers will need a new place to play as well as a practice facility — a matter that will be up for discussion at the next NFL owners meeting this month in Dallas.
