When the dust finally settled in Houston on Tuesday after the NFL owners' meetings, the St. Louis Rams were once again the Los Angeles Rams, and the San Diego Chargers have first crack at joining them in the stadium that will be built in Inglewood. Now we may see the dance commence again in San Diego, with local officials and Chargers owner Dean Spanos discussing a new stadium in the city to replace Qualcomm, which would host its 50th season of football if the Chargers stay for the 2016 season. Things have been contentious at times, with city officials long contending they can't afford to foot the bill for a new facility. But after news came on Tuesday night that NFL owners had voted to support the Rams' move to Inglewood and not the Chargers-Oakland Raiders plan to build a facility in Carson, the mayor of San Diego and the San Diego County supervisor said they would be willing to re-open talks with Spanos - but they will not be used. “Today NFL owners rejected the Chargers’ bid to move to Carson If Mr. Spanos has a sincere interest in reaching a fair agreement in San Diego, we remain committed to negotiating in good faith. We are not interested in a charade by the Chargers if they continue to pursue Los Angeles,” Mayor Kevin Faulconer and county supervisor Ron Roberts said in a statement.

The NFL is willing to give Spanos an extra $100 million to put toward a new stadium in San Diego, on top of the $200 million loan he's entitled to. But at current stadium construction costs, $300 million is around a quarter of what it would likely cost to get a new place built. The city and county have proposed a $350 million public contribution. Spanos said on Tuesday night that he intends to take some time and consider his options.
