Los Angeles can apparently cross the Jaguars off the list of teams that might consider moving there as long as Wayne Weaver owns the team.
“I have no interest [in Los Angeles],” Weaver told Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union (http://jacksonville.com/sports/football/jaguars/2011-06-14/story/jaguars-owner-wayne-weaver-repeats-he-has-no-interest?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JacksonvillecomsNewsSportsAnd Entertainment+%28Jacksonville%27s+Most+Recent+Head lines+-+Jacksonville.com+and+The+Florida+Times-Union%29&utm_content=Twitter) Tuesday as he repeated a statement he made in the past.

A Los Angeles official listed Jacksonville last week as one of five teams it has talked to, but Weaver noted that Sports Business Daily didn’t even mention Jacksonville when it reported on teams interested in Los Angeles on Monday.

“That’s the real story,” Weaver said.

Weaver added, “I have been consistent in saying I am committed to Jacksonville and have no interest [in moving],” he said.

“We have to work hard and be more creative because we’re in a small market in a difficult economy with high unemployment rates and a housing crisis that is more difficult than in other cities,” Weaver said.

I still think the most likely candidate is the Raiders. Minnesota has said they're going to build a new stadium, I believe.

Are the Chargers one of those five teams. If so, I thinks it could be them.

Nope. It's San Diego. I said this six months ago and still believe it today. Their circumstance in San Diego is unacceptable to the current ownership and they want out very badly.
