He’s been the voice of the Raiders for two decades, but it’s starting to feel like Greg Papa’s days with the Raiders are getting close to their end.

There have been a lot of rumors and speculation around Papa’s plans now that the Raiders are officially bolting to Las Vegas, but never anything concrete and Papa, for obvious reasons, has never addressed his status with the team.

What Papa has done, though, is allow himself to remain conspicuously in the middle of an ongoing beef between the Raiders and their radio flagship 95.7 The Game.

Furthermore, Bay Area blogger Zennie Abraham says he was told that Papa is “not the favorite” of Raiders owner Mark Davis and it was only a couple months ago that a rumor was swirling about Papa angling to join the 49ers.

If Davis believes Papa is getting cushy with the 49ers, it would only exacerbate any mistrust the Raiders owner may already have for Papa.

Whatever the case, Papa could theoretically make a smooth transition across the bay considering the emphasis he and 95.7 The Game have placed on covering the 49ers over the past six months.

Just a guess, but at some point soon, it feels like the clean break is bound to happen. There’s too much smoke to not have a fire smoldering somewhere.
