Mel Kiper turn them down first?

Did McKenzie ever land somewhere? I thought he did a pretty good job making Raiders relevant.

He was just fired in early December.

Thanks. Must have missed that firing.

Daily Mail UK: Tottenham may share their new ground with the Oakland Raiders NFL team during the 2019 season

https://www.dailymai...nd-Raiders.html

 

NFL commentator and writer Ray Glazer revealed: ‘London is now an option for the Raiders. It is being discussed for them to play there next year. They are still trying to figure it out. The Raiders are discussing it. Do they play four home games, four away games, and back and forth again?

 

‘The Raiders don’t have a home next year. London is a possibility as of now.’ The Raiders’ potential switch to London comes because the lease on the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum has expired and their new stadium in Las Vegas will not be completed before the 2020 season. 

 

While owner Mark Davis would like to stay, the City of Oakland filed a lawsuit against the franchise and the NFL over their controversial move to Las Vegas. 

 

That leaves the franchise homeless.

I'm sure the AFC West is going to love that idea.  Not to mention their other 5 "home" opponents.

Can't they just play where UNLV plays for a year?

Can't they just play where UNLV plays for a year?

 

Apparently from what I've read that option is on the table, but their stadium is very outdated (and small) and the Raiders want their first season in LV in the new stadium.

 

May not have a choice, though.

Looks like the Raiders will be playing their 2019 home games at what is now called Oracle Park (AT&T, home of the San Francisco Giants).

LOL.

I wonder how many will show up?  Before we depart for good, we're going to play in that other city across the bay.  Thanks for years of support Raiders fans.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Given SF doesn't have a team anymore, it'd be neat if they rallied around the Raiders, lol.

Given that they were thinking of playing in SD I don't think they give two shits about Oakland Raider fans.

It will be all about how Oakland drafts and develops but if they do that well, Gruden will have the last laugh.

 

I don't think they made the wrong decision with either Mack or Cooper...and now you landed Brown for next to nothing and have all those picks.

 

We forget that Carr was an MVP candidate a few years ago.  He can be good.  

 

And they will have 2 first rounders next year as well.

[ivanbalt]

Well, Gruden does have 9 more years to figure it out.  They certainly won't be getting help from their division.

[SportsGuy]

They signed Trent Brown to be the LT...moving Miller to RT.
