With the NFL continuing to flirt with Los Angeles, San Antonio is over in the corner waving their arms, trying to make sure the NFL doesn’t forget about them.
And they think it’s working.
City Manager Sheryl Sculley told Scott Bailey of the San Antonio Business Journal that they’ve continued discussions with the Raiders and remain a possibility.
“We have certainly raised the attention of the NFL,” Sculley said.
Of course, the focus of next week’s league meeting in Chicago will remain on the possibility of the Chargers, Raiders and Rams possibly heading to California, since the league is so clearly desperate to get a team or teams in the nation’s second-largest market.
“We are following closely what is going on in California,” Sculley said. “We expect to hear what [the Raiders’] plans are for the 2016 season after that meeting.”
The current discussions include the Raiders and Chargers working together on a shared stadium on Carson, but if that doesn’t come together, San Antonio will remain a fallback position.
