I don't want to get into the public money for stadium circular arguments but this is how the NFL conducts business and as long as other cities are willing to provide new facilities, teams are going to move. The Chargers long term could probably move to say St. Louis as they were ready to help build another stadium but Kroenke always wanted the LA market. I don't think they are going to succeed in LA as I fear that big stadium could look pretty bad with less than 40k next year for Chargers games.

The rumour is that they're London-bound but I'll believe it when I see it as that also means division re-alignment and I'm not sure how that looks (Chargers to AFC East, Miami to AFC South, Houston to AFC West would be my guess).
