Don Banks of The Athletic mentioned during an appearance on the Darren Smith Show on 1090 AM in San Diego on Thursday that people in the NFL including Roger Goodell didn’t want to see the Chargers leave San Diego.
“I have been painted a picture from people I’ve talked to that the league was sympathetic…to Dean Spanos’ plight,” Banks said, via The Big Lead. “Feels like he had been a ‘league guy’ feels like he had waited kind of his turn on the relocation front, thought he had the votes the year before — Jerry Jones and Stan Kroenke pretty much outmaneuvered Dean and Mark Davis with the Raiders to be the first in line for LA.
