Michael Gehlken joined the Review-Journal in April 2017 following the Raiders’ approved relocation to Las Vegas. He previously covered the Chargers for seven seasons, including five for the San Diego Union-Tribune. He produces breaking news, features and other coverage on Nevada’s future NFL team from Oakland as a Bay Area resident.
The Raiders recently were informed that a deal they walked away from in December, featuring a $7.5 million rent agreement to play in Oakland next season, is still on the table, said an official for the board that oversees the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
A report Sunday night indicated the Raiders unequivocally will play their 2019 home schedule in San Francisco, but a person familiar with the situation contacted by the Review-Journal dispelled any agreement as premature, citing two critical steps that have yet to be completed.
The New England Patriots danced beneath a confetti shower for the sixth time in 18 years as they prevailed 13-3 over the Los Angeles Rams in the lowest scoring game in Super Bowl history.
Tom Brady knows what Aaron Donald can do. He doesn’t need to wait to find out. The Patriots and Rams meet Sunday in the Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Sean McVay and Chris Shula met in 2014 as college freshmen at Miami (Ohio). They were football teammates for four years, McVay a wide receiver and Shula a linebacker. They were together regularly.
The quarterback entered the NFL in 2016 as the No. 1 overall draft pick, carrying a calm, even-tempered demeanor that very much remains today. He lost all seven starts made as a rookie. And yet, however difficult, however much he processed internally, little seemed to deter his disposition.
The second year of the Las Vegas Raiders includes the potential for a work stoppage, a likelihood that gained context Thursday as NFL Players Association officials discussed some of their preparations for 2021.
Sean McVay speaks without a space bar between sentences, his clauses crammed together like vehicles on a Los Angeles interstate.
Changes continue for a Raiders front office that is expected to experience more turnover following the April 25 to 27 draft.
Raiders owner Mark Davis still envisions his club playing its 2019 home games in the Bay Area, and the NFL is “hopeful” a resolution on an exact location will be made shortly, league commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday at his annual Super Bowl news conference.
C.J. Anderson’s short tenure with the Raiders was long enough for coach Jon Gruden to leave a lasting impression.
The Holy Trinity of American Sports is as ambitious as it is historically evasive. And so, here in the Georgia capital, where banners of Vince Lombardi Trophies and the metallic Super Bowl LIII logo display across town, a sinful city about 1,700 miles away can find inspiration.
A grinning Jon Gruden reached into a pocket in his black sweatpants. Sticker time.
Twenty-two years ago, Mike Mayock Sr. helped Paul Guenther find football talent. Today, as Raiders general manager, Mike Mayock Jr. is doing the same.
