However, McKibben added the Titans would only be targeted if the team were to be sold.
There has been speculation for years that the Adams family, who currently owns the team, could entertain a sale.
The Titans front office has denied those claims.
The Titans also released a statement Thursday, standing firm on their stance of not selling the team.

The Titans front office quickly shot down the rumors that the organization was leaving for Oakland.

“The Titans organization is not looking to move to Oakland or any other city and the team isn’t for sale,” the team told WKRN in a statement. “The city of Oakland will have to look elsewhere for a new NFL tenant.”

As of now It seems like it will be an uphill battle for Oakland to get another NFL team but Oakland fans are one of the best fan bases in football and deserve a team in that city.
