ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders filed applications for relocation to Los Angeles on Monday night.
As expected on the first day the NFL rules would allow, the league confirmed that that the paperwork was officially filed and received.
According the NFL's statement on the filings, each proposal contained the "appropriate documentation in support of its application as required by the NFL Policy and Procedures for Proposed Franchise Relocations" and is intended to be effective for the 2016 NFL season.
The Chargers revealed their intentions first, going so far as to have owner Dean Spanos appear in a video on the team's website to explain the decision for filing.
