SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy said Thursday that he can support the Chargers' plan to train in Los Angeles -- and that the team's future in San Diego isn't at the top of his fret list.

Is This Just The Beginning? Reaction From The Team SOUND OFF: Do You Care?

"We would all like to see the Chargers win," Murphy said. "And if they think a training facility in L.A. will help them win, I support that."

The team announced it will move its training camp to Carson next year, fueling speculation that the club will be shopped to Los Angeles when a contract clause opens up in a few years.

"The Chargers are on the list of things I worry about, but it's not No. 1," Murphy said. He cited traffic congestion, beach pollution and infrastructure as greater priorities.

Is is possible the Chargers might "bolt" San Diego?

"I would say that it is possible," the mayor said.

The city has repeatedly tried to renegotiate its contract with the Chargers, due to a ticket guarantee that has cost taxpayers $25.3 million since 1997. The Chargers are uninterested in redoing the deal.

Murphy said he has have "multiple discussions" with Charger President Dean Spanos, and he acknowledged there is a "group within the city" working on Chargers issues but wouldn't say more.

The team wants a stadium to replace Qualcomm, one of the oldest in the NFL. But with the city involved in the Padres ballpark, Murphy said taxpayers are unlikely to be willing to spend substantial money on another stadium.
