Report: Raiders levied heavy relocation fee, far less than Rams and Chargers

The Raiders are leaving for Las Vegas in the near future. The road out of Oakland includes a toll. The NFL charged the Silver and Black a $385 million relocation fee to move away from the East Bay, ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported on Wednesday.

That sum must be paid over a 10-year period starting when the Raiders formally move, which isn’t expected until 2019 at the earliest. The team’s new Las Vegas stadium should be ready for the 2020 season. The Raiders hope to remain in the Bay Area for three seasons until their new venue is complete, but they don’t have a stadium lease beyond the 2018 campaign.
