Oakland Raiders not seeking extension of stadium lease

There hasn’t been any progress in talks between the Oakland Raiders and the City of Oakland in recent weeks, according to multiple league and city sources. The Raiders were hoping for a renewed effort on the city’s part after Oakland signed a 10-year lease with the Oakland Athletics earlier this month.
But that hasn’t happened, and Raiders owner Mark Davis is stepping up his efforts to find a new stadium elsewhere. And it appears he has the NFL’s support, according to league sources.
Davis said he hasn’t asked for a 1-year extension on the the Raiders lease at O.co Coliseum — which expires at the end of next season — and has no plans to ask for one.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently brought up the idea of the Raiders renting the field at the 49ers’ new stadium in Santa Clara, and while Davis is opposed to that idea, he seems to be looking for other places to play in 2015.

They play on a fricking baseball field. It's about time.

Does anyone here believe they'll still be in Oakland 5 years from now?

I started a thread not long ago talking about how it was possible they would move to San Antonio and I was chastised for such ideas

People aren't chastising the idea of them moving. They're chastising the idea that it would be San Antonio

San Antonio is 100 percent leverage

there is just no way Jerry or McNair will let that market be taken away from them.

Owners love keeping Los Angeles teamless as leverage to get a new stadium deal. We have seen it multiple times over the last decade.
