The Oakland Raiders approached San Diego officials about relocating there next season before the team’s permanent move to Las Vegas the following season when the new stadium is completed. Talk about a gut punch. This was reported by CBS’s Jason La Canfora, so take that for what it’s worth. He noted that “there has been some contact between the team and the mayor’s office there, though the likelihood of them ever playing an interim game there – much less a full season – is very remote.”

The Raiders’ lease at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is set to expire at the end of the 2018 season. Many figured that the team would sign another one-year lease, as they’ve done the last several years. But that doesn’t appear to be in the cards as of now. With the stadium still in flux with the move to Las Vegas, San Diego becomes an option. If you are a native of San Diego and no longer root for the Chargers, could you bring yourself to root for the Raiders?
