NFL Rumors: 5 Teams Magic Johnson Could Move to LA

David DanielsOct 21, 2010

Earlier this week, Magic Johnson sold his share of the Los Angeles Lakers and his 105 Starbucks for $100 million.

When asked by the LA Times of the possibility of bringing an NFL team back to Los Angeles Johnson answered, "Of course I would be interested. Have I talked to anybody about it? No. But I would love to; I would do that in two seconds."

Los Angeles hasn't had an NFL franchise since the Raiders played their last game in 1994.

There have always been rumors of an NFL team returning to the City of Angels.

Here are five teams that Magic could move to Los Angeles:

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are located in a very small market.

Naturally, they've had problems selling out games. The team has had a number of embarrassing blackouts over the past couple of years.

A stadium that often looks empty could become empty for good very soon.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills are another very-small-market team.

They have been playing a number of home games lately in Toronto to expand their market.

All signs are pointing to a move.

If they don't move to Toronto, LA could be their final destination.

Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings want a new football stadium.

What city has one available? Los Angeles.

Their lease on the Metrodome runs out in 2011.

The Vikings have openly threatened the move to LA in order to get what they want, but those threats may end up turning into promises.

There have been whispers of the Raiders moving back to Los Angeles ever since they left.

They could get out of their lease to Frank Youell Field in 2011.

There certainly is history between the franchise and the city.  

Don't ever doubt Al Davis on doing anything drastic.

San Diego Chargers

The Chargers already have a deal with the Wasserman Media Group to market the team in Los Angeles and Orange County.

They have had stadium talks in San Diego for years with no solution.

The Bolts may be the favorite to move to LA.
