Raiders moving to Vegas

Sometime in the not distant future, they will become the Las Vegas Raiders.

Until then, likely in 2020, Mark Davis' team belongs to Oakland. Well, sort of.

NFL owners approved the Raiders' move to Las Vegas 31-1 at the league meetings Monday. Miami was the lone dissenter. Davis insisted the club his father, Hall of Fame owner Al Davis, built into a champion — in Oakland and Los Angeles — should still be considered a part of the Bay Area community.

"I wouldn't use the term lame duck," Davis insisted. "We're still the Raiders and we represent Raider Nation. "There will be disappointed fans, and it's important for me to talk to them to explain why and how."

"My emotions are mixed," said coach Jack Del Rio, a Bay Area native. "While I'm sad for family and friends and fans in the Oakland area, I also recognize the tremendous opportunity going forward for our organization. That being said, my mission remains the same. To lead this team here and now. Players and coaches need to understand their defined roles. We all need to bring positive energy everyday as we focus on things that we can control."
