"The Raiders will come if Nevada handles this properly," Goodman told ESPN Radio's Capital Games podcast Tuesday.

Raiders owner Mark Davis met with the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee on April 28 and he is being courted by casino magnate and GOP billionaire Sheldon Adelson.  Davis has pledged $500 million toward the construction of a $1.4 billion, 65,000-seat domed stadium that Mr. Adelson is helping to fund to the tune of $150 million.

"Mark Davis has assured us that Las Vegas is not getting played in a Raiders stadium deal," Goodman said. "I know we will have a team."
