The Oakland Raiders are exploring playing a preseason game in
Canada and joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams this
summer
Womens
Aqib Talib Jersey , according to Michael Gehlken of the .A game north of
the border in Canada could be the first of two times the Raiders will leave the
states to play a game in 2019. The team is already scheduled to play the Chicago
Bears in London during the regular season. Per the report, it would be a Raiders
home game that would be moved to the Canadian site if the game is scheduled.The
Raiders are, begrudgingly, set to play one final season in the Bay Area before
moving to Las Vegas for the 2020 season. Efforts to find an alternate home site
for games this fall after their lease with the Oakland Coliseum expired proved
fruitless.
However
Sam
Shields Jersey , the London and Canada games would mean the team would
play just eight home dates in Oakland instead of the standard 10 for the
preseason and regular season. A postseason appearance would potentially add to
that number, obviously.The Canadian preseason game would also mean one fewer
game with the dirt baseball infield of the Coliseum as well.The report points to
Regina, Saskatchewan and Mosaic Stadium as a possible site for the game. The
field plays host to the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football
League. Rogers Centre in Toronto played host to several games – exhibition and
regular season – featuring the Buffalo Bills from 2008-2013. BC Place in
Vancouver was the last stadium outside Toronto to host an NFL game of any kind
as the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers met in the 1998
preseason.Additionally, the Raiders are also trying to set up joint practices
with the Rams. The team held practices with the Detroit Lions last year as well.
The Rams also held joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens last August.Los
Angeles Rams VP/COO Kevin Demoff on negotiations with DL Aaron Donald from early
August: “We just don’t see eye to eye” Less than a month

Los Angeles Rams VP/COO Kevin Demoff had this to say regarding contract
negotiations with DL Aaron Donald:With Donald having held out last year into the
regular season and now holding out again this year with the regular season
looming two weeks from today, anxiety is high among the fan base over a possible
extension. Rams Head Coach Sean McVay alluded to the suggestion that he and the
training staff would like to have him by the end of this week to acclimate him
to NFL training and gameplay speed and whatnot.But a new interview with Demoff
with SiriusXM radio cleared things up...well not at all:It’s not very different
than that interview he gave to the Mighty1090 in training camp.“We just don’t
agree” has turned into “we don’t see eye-to-eye,” and Demoff continues to
insinuate that there’s a balance between signing Donald to their terms and
threatening their future suggesting that signing him above a certain rate would
hinder the team’s ability to remain competitive.It is what it is.And on a day
when the New York Giants and their fans are celebrating locking down one of the
NFL’s best wide receivers in Odell Beckham Jr., the Rams and Aaron Donald are
still where they’ve been for more than a year.Which is hardly comfortable right
now.(UPDATED August

was from an interview earlier this month.Have to wonder how recent developments
have progressed and how, given the two sides weren’t seeing eye-to-eye, that
might have changed...
