With the San Diego stadium resolution failing miserably, the next question becomes whether the Chargers will take advantage of their opportunity to strike a deal with the Rams to share the L.A. market. The window closes, barring an extension, on January 15, 2017.

Per a source with knowledge of the dynamics, concern currently exists at the league level regarding the ability of the Chargers and Rams to strike a deal and to work together on building and sharing a stadium and a market.

The two sides tried in vain to get something done in the aftermath of the Rams winning the race to L.A., but then the Chargers decided to try to get something done in San Diego. Now that the effort has died, the clock is ticking on the L.A. option.
