Broncos CEO Joe Ellis on Thursday helped introduce his team’s new head coach, Vance Joseph. But one day earlier, he was at NFL headquarters in New York diving into the possibility of the Raiders moving out of Oakland to Las Vegas.

Ellis said the bulk of a day-long owners meeting was spent talking about the prospect of Raiders owner Mark Davis moving his team to Nevada.

“They appear to have exhausted all of their options in Oakland,” Ellis said. “But I think we ought to let them announce if they’re going to relocate or apply for relocation or not.”

The Broncos may soon play a much different road schedule in the AFC West. The Chargers on Thursday announced they will move from San Diego to Los Angeles next season. The team already has been rebranded the Los Angeles Chargers. A Raiders move would displace two of the four teams in the division.

“They’ve put together an excellent proposal for what it would take to move to Las Vegas,” Ellis said of the Raiders. “And they’ve been offered a great situation in terms of getting a stadium built there, so I can’t blame Mark Davis.”

Chargers bolt. Ellis said he sided with Chargers owner Dean Spanos about the decision to relocate to Los Angeles. The Chargers, Ellis said, exhausted all of their options to remain in San Diego.

“The Spanos family has done everything they possibly could to get a stadium built there and worked with the community,” he said. “It just didn’t work out.”

The Chargers, though, are entering an awkward situation in L.A. They will rent space in the Stub Hub Center in Carson, Calif., sharing a home stadium with the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer until Rams owner Stan Kroenke builds a planned new stadium. And the Chargers will have to schedule games around the Galaxy’s slate.

“It’s very hard when teams move,” Ellis said. “It’s tough on fans. It’s tough on ownership. It’s tough on the league.”

Denver stadium name change? The Broncos’ home stadium last season retained the name Sports Authority Field at Mile High, despite the bankruptcy and dismantling of Sports Authority, Inc., the former Englewood-based sporting goods company.

The Broncos have been working to find a new naming rights partner. Ellis said he hopes to have a new deal in place before preseason games.

“I would like to see it resolved before we play a game there,” Ellis said. “We’ve got to get to the right deal. It’s important in terms of how we’re going to fund improvements and repairs.”

The Broncos hired WME-IMG, a Beverly Hills-based sports and entertainment representation firm, to help find a suitable naming rights partner. Ellis said the process has extended because a new deal might include real estate transactions or other extra-stadium components.

“They’re doing the evaluation now,” Ellis said. “I’m confident we’ll be able to move it along once we get going.”
