Sources: Raiders To File Relocation Papers To Move To Las Vegas

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport cited sources as saying that the Raiders "will file relocation papers to move from Oakland to Las Vegas, putting the NFL in a completely new world." What this does for the Raiders is "officially starts the process toward their move." They had until Feb. 15 to "make this decision, and now they need a vote of 24 owners or 23 owners along with Mark Davis to approve this." That "should happen in the March league meetings." The Raiders plan to "stay in Oakland for probably at least the next two years, maybe three while their stadium is built so they hope they are going but if they do, it won't be right away” (“NFL Gameday First,” NFL Network, 1/14).
