A Tucson, Arizona attorney says he spoke to Oakland Raiders president Marc Badain to pitch an idea of having the team move there for the 2019 season before relocating to Las Vegas.
Ali Farhang says he got approval from several Arizona officials to pursue a deal, including University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins, athletic director Dave Heeke as well as getting the go ahead from Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill and Gov. Doug Ducey.
“I’d like to give it the best shot possible. What do we have to lose?” Farhang told the Arizona Daily Star.
