The London Chargers?


Raleigh PF

Recommended Posts

The Chargers have been mentioned as a possibility to relocate to the UK.

IF the NFL moves the Chargers, there would have to be a fairly massive realignment. They couldn't leave the Chargers in the AFC West - they would have to move to either the NFC East or AFC East. I could certainly see reasoning for bumping Miami and moving the Chargers to the AFC East. But then, what to do with Miami? The dominoes would continue to fall.

It *could* be possible that they move Miami to one of the south divisions, which could mean either Houston or New Orleans would then move to the AFC West to take the Chargers place. 

Outside of realignment, it's going to be quite the burden on teams west of the Mississippi to fit the Chargers into their away schedule. As much as there has been a disadvantage for teams traveling east, this would certain compound that issue.

Seriously here, how much effort did the league put into moving the Chargers to Los Angeles?

There was a whole monster fight over that move that our old owner was a big part of. And that was what, just two or three years ago.

Now they're talking about moving the whole damn team to London?

Somebody really needs to get their head out of their ass.

It's all about the money. Goodell represents the owners who want to open a new market and this is their way to do it. As long as you ask yourself, how will this make the NFL more money, then you can figure out what their next moves are going to be. They are a pretty simple, petty lot, for the most part.

As much as I hate the idea, make no mistake London will have a team in the next couple of years.  NFL is all about $ and they clearly want to expand the brand overseas.  It wouldn't surprise me if they added two new expansion teams and put one in London and the other in Canada.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
