NEW YORK – The Chargers, Raiders and Rams must agree to a series of relocation requirements set by three NFL committees this week in order to be eligible for a vote on which team or teams are approved to move to the Los Angeles area for the 2016 season.

If documents provided by the franchises this week are verified by the league’s Los Angeles, finance and stadium committees, the teams will then be considered in a relocation vote of the NFL’s 32 owners next week in Houston.

NFL owners said Wednesday that there is a consensus among them that two teams will relocate to Los Angeles.

Following more than eight hours of meetings at the league’s Park Avenue offices Wednesday, league owners made it clear they are determined to have a relocation vote during the Houston meetings next Tuesday and Wednesday and end the NFL’s more than 20-year absence from the Los Angeles-Orange County market. One person involved in Wednesday’s meeting went so far as to say the league and its owners are “hell-bent” on resolving the Los Angeles situation.

“That’s for sure,” said New England’s Robert Kraft, a member of the six-owner NFL Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities. “I think we all want to hopefully see this issue settled next week and the fans will know where we’re at.

“I think it’s important we’ve had a generation of young people grow up without a team to root for. Hopefully we’re going to change that.”

The meetings also revealed growing doubts among the owners and league officials about a St. Louis task force proposal for a $1 billion downtown, waterfront stadium.

“The feeling is that it’s time to get to a conclusion here; this process has been going on for a long time,” Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay said.

The next step is for the three franchises this week to provide documents to the league verifying their acceptance of a series of terms set by the Los Angeles, finance and stadium committees this week. Among the areas the teams must agree to are financing guarantees, a relocation fee, a procedure for relocating and guaranteeing an opening date for new stadiums in Los Angeles County.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke wants to build a $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood while the Chargers and Raiders have proposed a $1.75 billion stadium in Carson, a project backed by Disney chairman and chief executive Robert Iger.

The three committees will then verify whether the franchises are eligible for relocation. The Los Angeles committee will make a recommendation on which team or teams should be approved to move.

Then, in Houston, there will be a series of votes by all 32 owners, most likely beginning with a vote on the relocation requirements Tuesday, followed by on a relocation fee.

The committees have set a relocation fee at $550 million per team in present value, although by the time the fee is paid off it should cost teams more than $600 million. Finally the owners will vote on relocation. When the final vote is tallied, league owners expect two teams to be headed back to Los Angeles.

“The feeling is two can work and should work so I think it’s really going to be a question more is do two teams qualify,” Irsay said. “So I think it’s more likely two teams will move.”

Which two, however, remains unclear. League owners have suggested this week that they are looking at more than just two options: the Rams to Inglewood or the Chargers or Raiders to Carson.

“It was a great meeting we’ve got lots of good alternatives. We’re carefully analyzing and trying to determine what’s right,” Kraft said.

Allies of Kroenke continue to push a scenario where the Chargers or Raiders join the Rams in Inglewood in a limited, but not full, partnership in the stadium. Kroenke abandoning plans for the stadium’s roof has also been floated.

Chargers owner Dean Spanos is opposed to relocating to Inglewood, and Raiders owner Mark Davis also reiterated to owners and NFL officials on Wednesday that he is also opposed to moving to Inglewood.

Also emerging from Wednesday meetings was an increased sentiment that the St. Louis task force’s stadium proposal will not prevent Kroenke and the Rams from being declared eligible for relocation. The plan calls for a combination of public and private financing. Kroenke has made it clear to the NFL that he is not only not interested in the stadium deal but believes it will be difficult for an NFL franchise to succeed financially in the St. Louis market.

“You have to look at your business model and really see,” said Irsay, who said he didn’t think a team necessarily had to stay in a market simply because a city came up with an offer.

“Every case is different,” he said.
