Well, we've got that going for us

An article by Dan Arkush in this week's Pro Football Weekly, in which he interviewed Chicago-based sports business consultant Marc Ganis, ranks the Rams as only the sixth-most-likely team to move to Los Angeles. Quoting the article:

The Rams remain on the L.A. radar screen because of an out clause in their stadium lease with the Edward Jones Dome in 2015 if the stadium isn't classified among the top 25 percent in the league.  Rams owner Stan Kroenke's existing business partnerships with [billionaire Philip, the leading man behind a new 70,000-seat stadium in L.A.] Anschutz also add an element of intrigue.

But Ganis seriously doubts the Rams would consider returning to L.A.

"I negotiated the lease there, and I know for a fact that an out clause there would be a real process, if it's even possible," he said.

PFW's favorite to move (back) into Los Angeles? The Raiders. Also receiving votes: the Chargers, Vikings, Bills and Jagwires.
