After months of uncertainty on where the Raiders will play this upcoming season, the team has finally found a home.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Mark Davis and the Oakland Coliseum Authority reached an agreement on Monday for the Raiders to play in Oakland for the 2019 season.

In addition a team option was put in place for the team to play in Oakland in 2020 if the Las Vegas stadium isn't ready.

While a deal is in place, the agreement needs to be finalized, voted on by the Coliseum Authority, voted on by the Oakland city council and finally voted on by the owners at the Owners Meeting in March before the deal is actually complete.

Raiders Las Vegas stadium is scheduled to open in June 2020.
