SAN DIEGO -- NFL owners will convene in Dallas for their annual December meetings this week.

Owners will meet in various committees Tuesday, and the full ownership group will hold a closed-door meeting Wednesday to discuss the possibility of teams relocating to the Los Angeles market.

Topics of discussion will include when the league will open the relocation application timeline for teams to file a proposal to relocate to Los Angeles. Typically, that window takes place from January 1 to February 15. But there has been some talk of delaying the application time frame to March and as late as May, which would not give potential teams moving to Los Angeles much time to sell tickets for the 2016 season.

NFL executive Eric Grubman, the point person on the relocation issue for the league, also said the focus of the December owners meeting will be to bring all 32 owners up to speed on what’s happening in the home markets, along with any negotiations which might have occurred.

Teams that are eyeing the possibility of moving to Los Angeles include the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams.

The Chargers are partnering with the Raiders on a $1.7 billion proposal to build a stadium in Carson, California.

And in January, St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke unveiled plans to build a $1.86 billion, 80,000-seat stadium in Inglewood, California on land he owns near Hollywood Park.

Los Angeles has not had an NFL team since the Rams and Raiders departed for St. Louis and Oakland, respectively, in 1995.

“You need 32 owners to have a vote and 24 of those owners have to agree on something,” said Mark Fabiani, an attorney who is leading the Chargers’ efforts to move to Los Angeles. “Anyone who is predicting how those owners will vote in January is speculating. No one knows, so no knows what will happen in January.

“But one thing we do know is that -- whatever the decision is -- the Chargers will respect that decision, and will follow whatever guidance the owners have for us.”

In an effort to keep the Chargers in town, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer proposed to build a $1.1 billion NFL stadium at the current site of Qualcomm Stadium. But the Chargers have shown no interest in that plan.

Instead, Fabiani said in October that if the team is not allowed to move forward with plans to build a stadium in partnership with the Raiders in Carson, the Chargers would consider the citizens’ initiative effort to build a stadium in downtown San Diego.

“We don’t have any great hopes for working with this mayor or the city attorney,” Fabiani said. “They haven’t shown the ability to pull something like this off. I think what we’d probably look at is the citizens’ initiative and try and go over the heads of the politicians and directly to the people. And try to make something happen that way.”
