If the Raiders and Chargers end up sharing a stadium in Carson, California, they likely won't be sharing a division anymore.
Former NFL executive Carmen Policy, who was hired by the two teams to oversee the stadium project, said on Monday that both the Chargers and Raiders would be willing to switch divisions if the NFL lets the two teams move to LA.
According to Policy, the two teams have basically told the NFL, "you send us to LA and you'll make the decision as to who plays in what conference or division."
It's not clear which team would leave the AFC West or where they would move to -- likely the NFC West -- but apparently, everything would be on the table as far as realignment goes.
"There are some very interesting scenarios, depending on how all this turns out," Policy said, via the Associated Press.
The NFL hasn't realigned any of its divisions since 2002, when the expansion Texans joined the league.
Policy was in Los Angeles to present the $1.78 billion Carson stadium project to the LA Sports Council and Members of the Chamber of Commerce. The plan Policy showcased in LA was basically the same one he unveiled to NFL owners during a meeting in Chicago on Aug. 11.
One bit of bad news did come out of Policy's meeting: If the new stadium is built, it won't have lightning bolts.
The bolts were part of the stadium renderings that the Chargers unveiled in April. However, when newer renderings were released on Monday, the lightning bolts were gone and had been replaced with a giant Lombardi Trophy.
