Official Silver & Black Thread

[ProudLao]

The Oakland Raiders are expected to have enough votes from NFL owners to approve their move to Las Vegas, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

We'll find out for sure today or tomorrow. I believe the voting has been taken place today as expected.

[ProudLao]

It's now official. I'm a Raiders fan for life. Just need to get use to LasVegas. I know the city and fans are disappointed but the city has it's chance and I feel the fans who cannot accept this move.

[ProudLao]

31 teams out of 32 voted for the move. Miami opposed.

It's sinking in slowly, I feel the sadness just a bit about the move. So much histories in Oakland.

It would be nice if we can deliver a championship to Oakland before moving out of town in 2018. They have a lease for two more years. Not sure if they will play 2019 season in Oakland, maybe something can be worked out. The Vegas stadium will be completed in 2020.

Marshawn Lynch is in the house. Let's make it happen Raiders!

Marshawn Lynch is in the house. Let's make it happen Raiders!

I wouldn't do it for 9 mil/year...He's not worth that much at this stage of his career with all the wear and tear already..Hope the Seagulls cut him so he can be a better bargain.

[ProudLao]

It's looking more like it will happen. Seahawks' GM said it should be a smooth transaction.

[ProudLao]

By unretiring the Seahawks owes Lynch 5 million for 2017, so I don't see them keeping him around since they have signed Lacy.

[ProudLao]

Trade talk is currently underway for Raiders to acquire Lynch.

[ProudLao]

Not sure exactly since the two sides have not met. But the two GMs are friends from their days in Greenbay.

[ProudLao]

Tough schedule but I am confident that we can get 11 wins.

Agree with the "11 wins" point...

Lynch wants 5.5 mills and Raiders wants to offer 3 mills. GM said if the deals don't get done before Thursday we are moving on from Lynch.

Give the guy 4.5 n call it a day plus i was going to buy raiders future to win sb if this deal goes through.  Not happening with this low ball bid.

[ProudLao]

I sure hope they can come to a good number because we need him.

[ProudLao]

It's official, Lynch is now a member of the Raiders on a one year deal worth 3 mill. If he earns a 1000 yard season he will be compensated an additional 2 mill.

Raiders also had to give up a late round picks in the future for the Hawks.
