Cowboys owner: NFL eyes relocation for L.A.
more speculation!

Jerry Jones wanted to make it clear: He was not speaking on behalf of Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, he said. But the Dallas Cowboys owner said before Thursday night's exhibition game at the Metrodome that the NFL is not thinking in terms of expansion for Los Angeles but relocation of an existing franchise. Jones should know. He's on the committee seeking to acquire an NFL team for Los Angeles. "I don't see us expanding in Los Angeles," he said. Jones said of the Vikings, "There is a lot of history (in Minnesota), and we need to be here. By the same token, there is a need for public-private ownership." The Vikings' Metrodome lease expires after the 2011 season. The Vikings are seeking a public financial partner for a proposed $954 million retractable roof stadium, but none is in sight, especially considering the political climate after the Interstate 35W bridge collapse. As for relocation to Los Angeles, the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints also have stadium issues and leases that expire near the same time as the Vikings'.
