During a break from the annual owners meeting Tuesday in Phoenix, Ariz. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft made it clear that Los Angeles had been a topic of heavy discussion.

“I really believe that in the next year we’ll have two teams in that market,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “We have some real good options.”

Dallas Cowboys owner echoed that sentiment saying that “a solution is in the crosshairs.”

The owners didn’t mention any specific teams, but the three most talked about franchises in this conversation are the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and the St. Louis Rams – the last of which is owned by Stan Kroenke, the same man developing the stadium site in Los Angeles.

“There might just be one team, but I really think to support the financial commitment of doing the kind of stadium that’s necessary in LA, you need the resources of two teams,” Kraft said.
