According to Arash Markazi, the St. Louis Rams owner could be planning to move the team to Los Angeles California as early as 2016.

The Rams’ owner has purchased 60 acres of land near the Forum and Hollywood Park in Inglewood and the owners of Hollywood Park and the Rams have been in contact with each other to build a NFL stadium in the area.
The founder of the Hollywood Park, the Stockbridge Capital Group said:
“We are excited to unveil an expanded plan that will bring a world-class sports and entertainment district to Hollywood Park,” Terry Fancher, founder of Stockbridge, said in a statement to the Times. “We are committed to working with [the Kroenke Group] to build a project that will put Inglewood back on the map as home of the truly great sports and entertainment venues.”
Arash Markazi reports on ESPN.com:
“Any NFL franchise interested in relocating for the next season would have to apply between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15 of that year, according to league bylaws, and prove it has exhausted all attempts to remain in its current location. The earliest a team could relocate to Los Angeles would be January 2016, and that team would likely play in either the L.A. Coliseum or the Rose Bowl until a new stadium is completed.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last month that no teams would be moving to Los Angeles for the 2015 season.
The two teams that have always made the most sense to relocate to Los Angeles are the last two NFL teams to leave Los Angeles 20 years ago: the Oakland Raiders and the Rams.”
There are other groups involved and committed to building NFL stadiums in the LA area but as of yet, the NFL have not agreed to their terms regardless of the sites being “shovel ready.”
It will be interesting to see if the Rams do indeed move to the great city of LA, and if they do you can expect CaliSports News to cover them!
