Raiders rescind rent offer to stay in Oakland, will explore options for 2019

In response to a federal antitrust lawsuit, a Raiders executive said Wednesday the club has rescinded a rent offer for the 2019 season to play at the Coliseum.

Raiders CEO Marc Badain told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Dallas a $7.5 million offer was off the table, but gave no indication where the franchise will play its games.

“We do not have an an answer on where we’re going to play next year,” Badain said. “We have a number of options, and when we have an answer we’ll share it with you.”

The city of Oakland filed a federal antitrust lawsuit Tuesday against the Raiders, the NFL and its 31 other teams over their impending move to Las Vegas.
