Why didn't the Oakland Raiders vote on the proposed new collective bargaining agreement? Was it just owner Al Davis' old contrarian approach to league matters as the Raiders were the only club to abstain from voting on the new labor deal in Atlanta? The Raiders have a history of litigation against the league, including numerous lawsuits related to their domain rights and moves back and forth from Los Angeles.

"We have consistently expressed our views on these matters to the league." Source: National Football Post
