The Oakland Raiders could have a surprising new home in San Diego if their move to Las Vegas falls through.

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer spoke to an NFL official about a potential move, and "another person representing the city exchanged calls with a Raiders official, though it is not clear whether the sides spoke."

The city has attempted to add an MLS team as a response to the Los Angeles Chargers leaving town, and it could be the site of a mixed-use facility that includes a 16-acre plot of land set aside for an NFL team, per Acee.
