yes,while many see all of this as a signal that the Rams are quickly on the move,I see this as a sign that-
with the NFL,things usually get ugly before they get pretty.they usually dont progress much until dealines approach. Kroenke has proven time and again that he typically finds a way to get what he wants.
Be confident of this: Kroenke could have seamlessly and quietly worked out an unofficial agreement to purchase this real estate following the 2014 season as the Rams’ lease expired in St. Louis. “Silent” Stan could have worked out the parameters of the deal while making nothing official until, oh, January of 2015.
If Kroenke wanted to attempt sneak out of town as quietly and smoothly as possible, he would have made this deal official after the 2014 campaign, not well before it.
Let us not forget that what Kroenke wants quiet stays quiet. Only what Kroenke wants announced, gets announced. In short, you can bet that this land wasn’t bought at the beginning of the offseason – right before the NFL’s biggest event (the Super Bowl) and right before the commissioner’s annual press conference – by accident.
Let’s remember that it was not that long ago that “Silent” Stan snuck in at the last moment without a peep and surprised almost everyone by grabbing majority ownership of the organization after Shad Khan – a former Rams season-ticket holder and the current owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars – had already reached an agreement to purchase a majority stake in the franchise.
So, again, why would Kroenke go through with this now?
