due to television contracts, nfl bylaws, and being in the same division if both of the longstanding division rivals were to move to la, one of the teams would have to move to the national football conference and the nfc west, something that mark davis volunteered the raiders to be willing to do. the raiders' move to the national football conference and the nfc west would be considered ironic because davis's father al davis was a staunch opponent of the nfl during its rivalry and eventual merger with the afl. if such a realignment were to occur, one of the existing nfc west teams would take their spot in the afc west. the early rumor was that the seattle seahawks, who played in the afc west from 1977 to 2001, would be the favorite to switch conferences with the raiders. however, that team's growing rivalry with the san francisco 49ers (who are assured of staying in the nfc west) now points to either the arizona cardinals or the st. louis rams (if the latter stays in st. louis) moving to the afc west to take the raiders' spot. if the rams stayed in st. louis, switching them to the afc would have allowed for a yearly home-and-home with the cross-state kansas city chiefs.
