St. Louis Rejects a $100 Million Settlement Over the Ram’s Relocation
With a trial over the Rams’ departure for Los Angeles scheduled to start in exactly two months, a report out Wednesday says St. Louis parties rejected a $100 million settlement from Stan Kroenke.
The reporting from Front Office Sports doesn’t indicate when the offer was made and rejected. While rumors of a settlement offer have circulated before, this could be the first reporting to specify a dollar amount.
Lawyers will be back in St. Louis Circuit Court next month for a show-cause hearing where several NFL team owners could be ordered held in contempt for not turning over financial information that would be used at trial for determining potential damages. While Kroenke has made those disclosures, a handful of owners, including Dallas’ Jerry Jones, New York Giants owner John Mara, Kansas City’s Clark Hunt and New England’s Robert Kraft have all been fined for missing a court-imposed deadline.
