Raiders Apply to Move to Los Angeles Area

Bringing the NFL back to Los Angeles has been on the minds of the league over the last few years and relatively publicly as well. Oakland finished the season with a 7-9 record.

“It didn’t end like you want it to end, but the great thing about this team is they fought all the way to the end”, Woodson said afterward. “We went to London, had a good experience and won that game, and the team took off from there”.

Although Monday will be a significant step – albeit long-anticipated – in the league’s march back to Los Angeles, sources indicate it will arrive quietly and procedurally rather than with fanfare.

The Rams issued a two-sentence statement on their website confirming their desire to relocate for the 2016 season.

“We are sad to have reached this point”, the Chargers said in a statement. There’s no lack of determination or grit.

“I really love that about how we’ve developed”. “In an ideal world, I’d like to see them all stay where they are”. “Everyone’s just kind of worn out about it, to be honest”.

“We’ve got a great group of leaders in this locker room, man, and we never questioned ourselves or doubted ourselves that we could get to this point”, said rookie cornerback Marcus Peters, whose eight interceptions landed him in the Pro Bowl. I’m not going to shy away from setting high expectations.

“Obviously we are working with the A’s on a potential new ballpark with them”, Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf told CSNCalifornia in November.

The three are expected to file for relocation Monday, the day after the regular season ends. “But their defense, they’re fast, they rally to it”. “They don’t think anything is impossible”. But it’s been 14 years we’ve been working very hard to get something done here.

“It was definitely a pivotal moment in the game”, said Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio. Oakland managed just 48 on the ground. It would be nice to know what (the Raiders’) plans are. “I just had to jump it, I just had to”.

In the third quarter, thanks to a special teams play and the offense, the Chiefs preserved their victory. “He’ll probably be sore, but I think he’s going to be alright”, said head coach Andy Reid.

The Raiders punted on their next two possessions, then caught a break.

In perhaps their final game representing Oakland, the Raiders only mustered a field goal on offense until the final minutes, when Carr connected with Michael Crabtree from 31 yards.

Today the San Diego Chargers submitted to the National Football League the team’s application to relocate to Los Angeles. We’ve had nine different proposals that we’ve made, and all of them were basically rejected by the city.
