St. Louis, NFL agree to $790 million settlement in Rams lawsuit, Goodell approves

ST. LOUIS — Lawyers have struck a deal to settle the four-year-old Rams relocation lawsuit for $790 million, sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations told the Post-Dispatch on Wednesday.

By mid-morning, lawyers were working to notify all NFL owners. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell approved the settlement before noon. The settlement ends the lawsuit. The league will pay the money within a month, and will determine internally how much will be shouldered by Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke, and how much by the league and owners.

"It's done," said former St. Louis Circuit Judge Jack Garvey, who mediated the deal.
