The NFL’s finance committee has unanimously recommended approval of Stan Kroenke’s Rams purchase bid, the Post-Dispatch has confirmed through several league sources.

Short of the actual league vote itself, which takes place Wednesday in Atlanta, that’s a strong indication that the purchase will be approved.

The finance committee will make its report and invite discussion Wednesday in Atlanta. At that time, Kroenke can comment or respond to questions as he chooses, and then the vote will take place.

The entire approval process Wednesday may take only an hour or so, barring an unexpected hitch.

Kroenke, 63, already owns 40 percent of the Rams. The Missouri native is attempting to purchase the 60 percent of the team currently held by Chip Rosenbloom and sister Lucia Rodriguez.
