Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis missed out on Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean he'll return his team to Oakland.

They're playing without a lease in 2016 -- and the city of San Antonio could provide a soft landing for the Silver and Black.

Davis has plenty of reasons to drop his team right between San Antonio and Austin. The two cities would offer his team over 2.3 million football-hungry sports fans. His players would enjoy a state without income taxes.

Lastly, if he's anything like his father, Davis enjoys a little payback. He'd serve some up by becoming an instate competitor to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who led the charge to exclude the Raiders from L.A. relocation .

There's also talk that if the chargers come to LA the raiders will go to San Diego

Oakland is farther from LA than San Diego, right? That would be weird having 3 teams so close.
