Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe isn't willing to just let Maryland keep the Redskins. McAuliffe remains committed to bringing the Redskins to Virginia.

Speaking with ESPN 980 on Friday morning -- the team's official station -- McAuliffe revealed that he's in "very serious negotiations" to lure the Redskins away with a new stadium.

His reasoning? The Redskins are already a Virginia team, apparently. According to McAuliffe, Redskins president Bruce Allen told him that roughly two-thirds of the team's revenue comes from residents of Virginia.
