John Madden on Raiders’ potential move to Las Vegas: ‘They don't have an alternative’

Hall of Fame coach John Madden coached the Raiders from 1969 to 1978 in Oakland and believes the team has no other choice but to move to Las Vegas, he tells SI's Andy Gray.

“They don't have an alternative. I mean, that's the problem,” Madden says. “They can't continue to play in that stadium. They need a new stadium. And they can't get one put together in Oakland. The L.A. thing didn't work out, which, I'm kind of glad about. I don't think they belonged in L.A. But [Stan] Kroenke got that and, even though there was a chance they may go in with him, I don't think that'll happen.
