Two teams from the same conference and division both moving to LA and sharing a stadium doesn’t make much sense to me, one of them would have to swap conferences with the Rams I guess.

Probably wouldn't fly - the Raiders have long-standing AFCW rivalries with Denver, KC and the Chargers, and the Rams have an ancient but strong NFCW rivalry with the 49ers. The NFL should be reluctant to break up those rivalries.

The idea that has been floated by the Raiders and Chargers is that the Cardinals would move to the AFC west, and the Raiders would move to the NFC west, creating a rivalry with the 49ers. In this scenario, the Rams stay in St. Louis. Stupid, I know, but it is how the Chargers are trying to sell the move. They are desperate to increase the value of the franchise and then sell the team before the old man dies and they are hit with estate taxes.
