The Raiders have officially begun packing for Las Vegas. Hey, we’ve all been there, but this trip looks like it may be permanent. And while it’s not yet time for Oakland residents to begin gnashing of teeth and rending of garments (the owners have yet to vote on it), this potential move is looking more and more inevitable by the day.
Mark Davis will officially file relocation papers this week, which was first reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. The Raiders’ owner isn’t currently talking with anyone regarding keeping the team in Oakland, and seems intent on going ahead with a plan in place to build a new stadium off the strip in Las Vegas.
