The NFL is expected to approve Rams owner Stan Kroenke's $571 million settlement with the city of St. Louis over his relocation of the franchise to Los Angeles. And in doing so, the league will save team owners from making personal financial disclosures as part of St. Louis' lawsuit against Kroenke.
League teams collectively contributed $219 million towards the $790million settlement, leaving the remainder for the 75-year-old Kroenke to cover.
The settlement was originally agreed upon in 2021, nearly five years after the Rams' 2016 departure from St. Louis. Both Kroenke and the NFL had failed in attempts to have the lawsuit tossed out of court or moved to a new venue, increasing the likelihood that league owners would be forced to reveal financial information.
