NEW YORK

If NFL owners prevent Stan Kroenke from relocating his St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles, Toronto might top his list of fallback destinations.

Vincent Bonsignore of the Los Angeles Daily News reported as much in a blog on Tuesday.

Since buying the Rams in 2010, Kroenke has made it painfully clear to the locals in Missouri he has no intention of keeping the club there long-term.

The Rams’ 20-year lease at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis has expired, and the team now rents it on a year-to-year basis.

If Kroenke’s bid to relocate to LA is denied? Apparently he covets the next available English-speaking megalopolis.

“Sources have mentioned Kroenke might simply go back to the Edward Jones Dome on one-year leases, and turn attention to Toronto or London,” Bonsignore wrote. “And if the Chargers and Raiders move to Los Angeles, the Bay Area and San Diego could be markets he looks (at).”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and a handful of powerful owners told the Sun in March that Toronto not only is not dead as a potential future home of an NFL team, but it remains an attractive market to the league (if rife with difficulties similar to those LA has had for two decades, plus others).

What’s more, Buffalo owner Terry Pegula told the Sun in March he informed the league upon buying the Bills last year he would “support” the idea of Toronto getting a franchise, which Goodell confirmed.

Owners still have Goodell's back

If you thought NFL owners might start distancing themselves from commissioner Roger Goodell over his messed-up handling of Deflate-gate, think again.

“First of all, I personally support Roger,” Kansas City’s Clark Hunt told the Sun, on the eve of Wednesday's fall owners meeting.

“And he has the support of really the entire ownership. The subject of his role in discipline is really a subject matter that is more appropriate to be discussed with the Players Association, and that is something that we’ll be doing over the next several years.

“It won’t be a fast process. I’m comfortable where we are today, but it is a subject matter that will be discussed.”

Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey told the Sun: “I, and our family, firmly support (Goodell) 100%. I think he’s doing a great job. I think he’s great for the NFL.

“The NFL is in great shape in his capable hands.”
