SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Carmen Policy, the former San Francisco 49ers executive who is quarterbacking the efforts of the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders for their joint prospective Los Angeles venture, said that both teams are all systems go for relocation. "The Chargers and Raiders are committed to Los Angeles," said Policy, who finished his presentation with NFL owners at the Hyatt Regency on Tuesday about the status of the proposed Carson stadium project. [ Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league today! ] Policy said the stadium would be "shovel-ready" upon the project being green-lit and that the 2019 season would be the first realistic season the two teams would be able to play in a shared venue. "We've heard people saying they could do 2018," Policy said, perhaps in a veiled shot at the rival proposal in Ingelwood for the St. Louis Rams, "but that just wouldn't be realistic. We'd be ready for 2019." Policy has nothing to do with the Rams and their possible move to Los Angeles. Asked about the other proposal, Policy made a humorous quip at the former NFC West rival team. "I'm trying to pretend the Rams don't exist," Policy said with a smile, making it clear he was kidding. Policy added that a league vote on relocation would not happen in as early as October, as some have predicted, but very well could occur in January — and most definitely, he said, "before the Super Bowl," which will be played on Feb. 7, 2016. - - - - - - - Eric Edholm is a writer for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports.
