However, the City will miss Wednesday’s deadline, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The City plans to the send the NFL a letter regarding their progress towards persuading the Raiders to stay in Oakland. NFL officials wanted proposals from the Chargers, Rams and Raiders markets before the Jan. 2 Owners’ Meetings in Houston.

Nonetheless, the Chronicle cited a league source saying the letter falls shorts of the NFL’s demand. Consequences are unknown, as the league continues pondering the relocation options between the Carson and Inglewood stadium proposals.

Apparently, Oakland wants to call the league’s bluff.



Raiders and Chargers in Carson shared stadium, if they can get 24 votes here in a few weeks, is happening.

I hope the A's leave too.

Good for them. Why should they pay for a new stadium when they are still paying for the renovations to the Coliseum.

Raiders are not moving to LA.


I do not think any teams move to LA in 2016, but if they do it would be the Rams and Chargers together.

There are major issues if it were the Raiders and Chargers.

Why does the city of Oakland have to pay for a stadium when the New Orleans Saints had their stadium paid for by the state of Louisiana and Tom Benson receives nearly $400 million for the same state tax payers??? The city of New Orleans and the suburbs should have to pay that money if at all!

I'd rather see the Rams at the Inglewood location than the Chargers/Raiders at the Carson location. But, I have a feeling the Rams are going to stay in St Louis...

That article is phenomenal. He drives like a 1998 van. With a VCR in it.

Eats at the bar at PF Chang's almost every day.

Has a flip phone he wears on his belt.

You do know Benson has not received a subsidy in years. Also the Dome is used for much more then Saint home games, the same cannot be said for the Colesium.
