Report: 49ers not expected to waive territorial rights for Raiders

The Oakland Raiders stadium situation for 2019 has gone from messy to a downright disaster. The team has been negotiating with the San Francisco Giants to use their stadium, but that is running into various problems.

Although the San Francisco 49ers play their games further away from the city of San Francisco than the Raiders did when in Oakland, they still hold territorial rights over the city. That gives them the right to say the Raiders are not allowed to play there. There have been reports the team is leaning against providing permission, and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport tweeted that it remains expected the 49ers will not provide the requisite permission.
