As expected, the NFL has officially changed directions on its October meetings and will not have representatives from the cities of San Diego and St. Louis make presentations to team owners about their efforts to keep the Chargers and Rams where they are.
Eric Grubman, the NFL executive vice president who is overseeing the potential relocation of one and possibly two teams to the Los Angeles market, said discussions at those meetings will be more productive without the cities making presentations directly to the owners. Oakland had not been invited to make a presentation because the league does not think that city has a viable plan to keep the Raiders.
