Roger Goodell’s letter to Oakland mayor paints dark picture for Raiders fans​

OAKLAND — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday expressed concerns over Oakland’s plan to keep the Raiders from leaving to Las Vegas, writing the latest proposal is not “clear and specific, actionable in a reasonable time frame, and free of major contingencies.”

The letter sent to Mayor Libby Schaaf on Friday lays out the NFL’s view of Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott and his investors’ $1.3 billion development plan to build a new stadium for the team at the Coliseum complex.

Goodell’s letter was a response to a letter Schaaf sent him earlier Friday outlining the Oakland stadium project.
