Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is going to have quite the tab to pay for the team’s relocation from St. Louis.
According to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, NFL owners are expected to approve a plan that sticks Kroenke with the remainder of the bill owed to St. Louis for the relocation settlement. That bill will be for $571 million, which is a substantial portion of the entire $790 million settlement for the city of St. Louis.
The league has already paid the entirety of the settlement using funds from the other NFL teams totaling $219 million of the $790 million. It is now seeking for Kroenke to pay back the rest of the money. Kroenke wanted all 32 teams to pay the full $790 million, but that never came to pass. Other owners wanted Kroenke to pay the entire bill, too.
The city of St. Louis originally sought more than $1 billion in damages in the lawsuit, claiming the Rams’ departure cost the city millions of dollars. The Rams moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles in 2016 after the plan was approved by the league in January of that year.
