Tim Brown, dubbed Mr. Raider because of the 16 professional seasons he spent as a member of the team, from Los Angeles to Oakland, doesn't want to see his beloved football team moved from its current home.

"I think they should stay in Oakland if at all possible and I know that's what the team is trying to do," Brown told Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com. "They're trying to work out a deal to stay there, but it's tough because the city of Oakland doesn't have the funds to get it done and it seems like to everybody that really L.A. is trying to woo any team."

But if the team does move, Brown's not sure that L.A. will be the franchise's destination. In fact, he hears a city in Texas could be the best bet for a Raider relocation.

"I'll tell you, the wild card here, I believe, is San Antonio. I know people don't want to hear that, but from what I'm hearing the package that San Antonio put on the table was far better than any package they could have ever imagined. So financially the best thing for the team may be to go to San Antonio. I know that would hurt a lot of Raiders fans in California but at the same time, this team has to find a home and if Oakland and if L.A. can't get it done, then maybe San Antonio's the place."

The idea of an NFL franchise in L.A. has gained considerable momentum in recent weeks after a report from FOXSports' Jay Glazer said that it was "closer than ever" to happening and, while the St. Louis Rams were the most likely to make the move, there may be more than one team calling the Los Angeles area home in the not-too-distant future.

As team owner Mark Davis and the city of Oakland continue to squabble over the Raiders' stadium deal, the notion of the Raiders moving seems more and more likely. If the crux of the entire situation really is money, and Brown is right about the lucrative nature of a move to San Antonio, then the Oakland Raiders could eventually shock the football world and end up as the third NFL team to call Texas home.
