NFL owners set special LA vote meeting for Jan. 12-13
The Rams, Raiders and Chargers are interested in moving to LA, which has not had an NFL franchise since the Rams and Raiders left after the 1994 season.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke is planning a billion-dollar stadium in Inglewood, California, while the Raiders and Chargers have a joint project in mind for nearby Carson.
Kroenke also is willing to share his proposed stadium with either the Chargers or Raiders.
"All the proposals must be in by the end of December," Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said, adding "it is the strong hope" of the league that the vote on relocation will come out of that meeting.
Colts owner Jimmy Irsay added that getting 24 owners to approve any of the proposals was a difficult chore, but was optimistic a decision would be made in Houston.
Goodell said he believes the Los Angeles relocation committee "intends to make a recommendation" on the LA stadium proposals at some point, even if it is not in Houston.
—The owners voted to allow compensatory draft picks to be traded beginning in 2017.
