Raiders re-enter 'meaningful, productive' talks with Oakland

After months of uncertainty regarding the team's home for 2019, the Oakland Raiders might stay put.

The Raiders resumed negotiations with the body that oversees the Oakland-California County Coliseum, the group's executive director told Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"I will confirm that we, late last week, started sitting down and talking with the Raiders about the potential of a 2019 season deal," Scott McKibben said. "In my view, the discussions have been meaningful and productive."

Previous talks broke down after the city of Oakland filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the Raiders and the NFL for the team's upcoming relocation to Las Vegas, where a new $1.9-billion stadium is scheduled to be ready for the 2020 season.

The Raiders walked away from the table and explored options such as relocating to London, sharing a stadium with the San Francisco 49ers, or playing at Oracle Park.
