The Chargers are one step closer to moving back to Los Angeles. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune , the franchise has agreed in principle to join the Rams in L.A. and share a stadium in Inglewood. Chargers owner Dean Spanos now must decide if he can make the team work two hours north of their home since 1961, or whether it’s best to work things out with the city of San Diego and use this latest agreement as leverage toward leaving. The Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles, which they previously had left after the 1994 season. Rams owner Stan Kroenke was given first rights to his franchise relocating, and the Chargers — ahead of the Oakland Raiders — were given first rights to join the Rams there. The Chargers have until January 15, 2017, to invoke their privilege to move to Los Angeles, although agreeing to a stadium deal locally could allow that timetable to stretch into 2018, allowing for bureaucratic hang-ups and such. But this latest announcement feels like the latest domino to fall toward a second team joining the Rams in Inglewood. It’s your move, San Diego, if you want to keep this team. - - - - - - - Eric Edholm is a writer for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?
