The Oakland Raiders are in a difficult situation right now. With a year to go before their new home in Las Vegas is ready, owner Mark Davis has been forced into a corner when it comes to working out a deal to remain in the Bay Area for that final season.
As a result, the Raiders’ attention has turned to London. The NFL is desperate to test how the market would respond to a full season of action. While moving the Raiders there for one year may seem like the ideal opportunity to perform said test, the potential negatives of the scenario far outweigh the positives.
