When NFL owners gathered to determine the fate of the Los Angeles market, there was a bit of an intramural scrum.

But when it comes time to decide on the Raiders possibly leaving Oakland for Las Vegas, at least one of them thinks the meeting will be a calm one.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — who helped money-whip Stan Kroenke’s Rams to Inglewood over a competing project for the Chargers and/or Raiders in Carson — told Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times he didn’t expect opposition to Las Vegas.

“You’ll have certain individual owners with thoughts, but you won’t see people clumping together to try to stop it – not with Las Vegas in the Raiders’ case,” Jones said. “You’re not going to have factions and things like that. Not here.”

There seems to be no momentum for the Raiders to do anything by move, while the Chargers are still working on a plan that would have them stay put (though they have an option to join Kroenke a year from now).

But Jones said Vegas shouldn’t be an option for the Chargers.

“As far as I’m concerned, the Raiders are the one and only team to go,” he said. “I wouldn’t go over there if I were San Diego. If it’s going to work, I think it’s the Raiders. You’ve got to have that national cache.”

While the NFL may have once viewed Las Vegas as a non-starter because of gambling interests, that no longer seems to be a hurdle. At this point, the larger issue seems to be leaving a larger market (the growing East Bay) for a smaller one, though without a viable stadium solution there, it will be easy to portray the Raiders as having their hands forced.
