Reports began to surface early Tuesday morning that longtime Raiders play-by- play announcer Greg Papa would not be doing games for the 2019 season and is to be replaced by longtime ESPN college football commentator Brent Musburger. It is being reported it will be a 2 year contract allowing Musburger to usher the team into Las Vegas.
The Raiders will have a new but familiar voice calling games. Legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger is the new voice of the Raiders.

Brent Musburger agreed to terms on a 2-year deal with Compass Media to call games on the radio for the entire football season for the Oakland Raiders. His first season will be in Oakland and then to Las Vegas to call Las Vegas Raider games on the radio.

It is currently not known why the Raiders decided to move on from Papa, though there are rumors the Raiders organization was displeased with remarks Papa had made about the teams coaching search.
