The LA effect on Free Agency

[MongerKhan]

So with the news of the Rams moving to Los Angeles I'm wondering what the effect is going to be for potential free agents that normally would not go play in St Louis because one of the reasons is it's a "boring city" who could now go play for the Rams and be in the Los Angeles area pretty much year round.

I would think that people that chase money and fame would be a bit more likely to go to a sub par team if it meant that they could rub elbows with celebrities and be a much higher profile in the social community.

Think Buffalo as an example.

Let's say Watkins was free to sign with whatever team he wanted in the NFL on his first day. You can't sit here and tell me that he would choose to go to Buffalo over Los Angeles regardless of how the team was.

I'm very interested to hear what you guys think

Depends on what "God" would tell him. Reggie went to Green Bay

Me personally, you couldn't get me to want to go to the left coast, no way- no how. But I see your point Khan and suspect those seeking the bright lights will want to go there.

Yes LA has draw, but LA is really expensive to live in as well. But if the money is right, they might draw better in LA than in St. Louis. Only time will tell, that and if HC stays or not, Fischer is not well loved by alot.
