ORIGINAL STORY
Sources say Raiders star Ronnie Lott is close to signing a deal that could keep the Raiders in Oakland, according to ABC 7 in San Francisco.
They say Lott could sign a deal with the city of Oakland and Alameda County to either sell or lease the current stadium. The group is hoping to negotiate a stadium deal and redevelop the land into a new sports complex.
However, Raiders owner Mark Davis remains committed to moving the team to Las Vegas. The Nevada legislature approved $750 million toward a stadium in October, which Gov. Brian Sandoval signed.
ABC 7 reports that NFL owner could vote on the Raiders' proposed move to Las Vegas in January.
