Unser Chat » Former NFL executive Eric Grubman had a role

in the actual and threatened relocation of multiple franchises. He denies that he’s currently trying Youth Cortez Broughton Jersey , while no longer employed by the league, to move a team back to one of the markets the NFL vacated.Appearing on the Mighty 1090 in San Diego, Grubman denied a report from Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report that Grubman is trying to move a team back to the former home of the Chargers. That echoes Grubman’s quote to Vincent Bonsignore of the L.A. Daily News, saying it’s 鈥渃ompletely and utterly bogus information” having “[z]ero merit.”Freeman didn’t back off despite the denial: “I feel very confident that what I was told was accurate.I also feel very strongly about something else I was told,” Freeman said, adding that Grubman has told people he’s involved in trying to take a team to San Diego. “San Diego is NOT off the market for an NFL team.”San Diego shouldn’t be off the market. It’s a major-league city that simply wasn’t able or willing to finance a new stadium for the Chargers.

It’s going to be great for the banner to be dropped in Lincoln Financial (Field). It’s going to be a great atmosphere.“I think with this football team, though, they understand this is a different season, it’s a new team, new year. We’re sitting here 0-0 with a great opportunity against a great opponent — a playoff/Super Bowl-caliber team coming in here.
