Best hope of Raiders sticking around past 2015 season? Carson deal falls apart

Given the parameters of the plan submitted by developer Floyd Kephart to Oakland and Alameda County as reported by Matthew Artz, the best chance for the Raiders remaining in Oakland beyond 2015 is if the Carson opportunity falls apart.

As reported in Bay Area News Group publications, Raiders owner Mark Davis would have to sell a 20 percent stake in the team and another $300 million in borrowed funding. No comment from the Raiders, but as experts in the field have noted, it’s almost assuredly not what Davis and Co. had in mind.

The Raiders owner has taken a “wait and see” approach with regard to Kephart and as recently as last week had seen nothing concrete in terms of a cogent plan to keep the Raiders in Oakland.
