The San Diego Chargers are no more. The team reportedly plans on officially announcing its intention to move to Los Angeles on Wednesday, ending a stay that began in 1961 as a member of the American Football League.
The Chargers were given an option to relocate to Los Angeles last year as part of the agreement that sent the Rams franchise to Southern California. Ownership initially had until Jan. 15 to make a decision on relocation, but that date was pushed back to Jan. 17, per Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com.
Official relocation paperwork has not yet been finalized, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other owners have been informed.
