The Oakland Raiders have filed a formal application to relocate to Las Vegas, according to Steve Sisolak, the chairman of the Clark County (Nev.) Commission.
Sisolak made the announcement via Twitter. It was not immediately confirmed by the team or the NFL.
The filing would be merely a procedural step. Raiders owner Mark Davis has said for some time that he intends to move the franchise from Oakland to Vegas. The move still must be ratified by at least 24 of the 32 owners. That vote apparently could come as soon as March at the annual league meeting in Phoenix.
