Not strictly. I wouldn't rule expansion out just yet. The NFL, fundamentally, is based on an expanding business model. As soon as it stops expanding, they're going to get in real financial trouble (which is part of what all this "international" business is all about). A nice fat franchise fee has some allure.
I don't think the league is going to expand in North America anymore. Their next step is expanding overseas.
For the league to put a new team in L.A., they'd have to add in another team as well, unless they want to completely throw off the division and scheduling set up which, possible 17th game aside, is pretty perfect.
If they were to do this, the likely spot would be Toronto, but it seems quite evident that the Bills are feeling that territory out, and I doubt they'd install a team there AND keep the Bills in Buffalo.
I think the Raiders are going to move back there, personally.
