NFL owners and execs have been holding "ongoing semi-regular conference calls" regarding the topic of relocation to L.A., according to sources cited by Jason La Canfora of CBSSPORTS.com. For the "past six months or more there have been a series of calls between select owners and the NFL office discussing the array of plans and potential stadium projects in the area." This topic "could be raised in depth at the short December league meeting." It is "not out of the question two teams could announce their intent to move to Los Angeles for the 2015 season by the February deadline assuming a bevy of remaining hurdles are cleared, and two teams, the Rams and Raiders, have been engaged in active discussions exploring the LA market and stadium options" (CBSSPORTS.com, 10/26). Patriots President Jonathan Kraft said that relocating a team to L.A. "likely would happen" before putting a team in London. Kraft, on Boston-based WBZ-FM, said, "If a viable stadium opportunity comes up in Los Angeles, and a team decides they want to go and they can work out a deal with the league, they’ll go. I think that’s more feasible than London" (BOSTON GLOBE, 10/27).
