As the talk about an NFL team playing in a super stadium in Los Angeles continues, the discussion about which team will eventually play there continues as well.

The most logical choice appears to be the Oakland Raiders, who have played there before.

Raiders’ owner Mark Davis wants the team to stay in Oakland, but isn’t ruling anything out.

“We’re not done in Oakland. We’re trying really hard, and we’ll see how that goes,” Davis told Scott Blair of CSN Bay Area. “But Los Angeles is something that I’ve definitely thought about and haven’t pursued. There are other places as well. Until we can find out if Oakland is real, then I’m still staying in Oakland. If we can get something done in Oakland, I will stay in Oakland.”

The Raiders recently signed a one-year extension with the O.co Coliseum in Oakland.

“If in fact that can come to fruition, we’ll be a part of that,” Davis said. “If not, then we have to figure out what to do. What we’ve done is sign a one-year extension to our lease and we’ll play (at the Oakland Coliseum) this season. At the end of this season, we have to determine what’s going to happen.”
