Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval is expected to sign a bill on Monday designed to raise $750million for construction of a new stadium in Las Vegas for the Raiders.
Raiders staying in Oakland for two more seasons
The Raiders want out of Oakland, but owner Mark Davis said Saturday the NFL team are not in a hurry to leave.
But the Raiders remain committed to the Oakland Coliseum for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
"We want to bring a Super Bowl championship back to the Bay Area," Davis told ESPN.
Twenty-four of the 32 owners must approve any franchise relocation. They have a regularly scheduled meeting next week in Houston, which Davis is traveling to on Tuesday and is expected to ask for permission to move his franchise.
The Raiders have one-year options to stay in the Coliseum for the 2017 and 2018 seasons while the proposed stadium is under construction in Las Vegas.
