AFC West Notes: Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos HC Vance Joseph says he would like to see QB Case Keenum be more aggressive and take more chances.

“The bottom line is we got three weeks to play and he’s got to make more plays and sometimes taking some chances allows you to make more plays,” Joseph said, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. “There are going to be turnovers, so he can’t worry about it. You can’t play this game perfectly. I want Case to be more aggressive, especially down the seams over those Cover 3 defenses. That’s where the soft spots are, so he’s got to be aggressive down the seams and not worry about making mistakes.”

Raiders

• Former Redskins GM Scot McCloughan came up as a name to watch for the Raiders’ job, given that he has ties to Jon Gruden and previously interviewed for the Oakland job.
• However, McCloughan tells Michael Gehlken that he isn’t interested in taking a GM job right now: “But from the standpoint of being a GM, right now, no. I’ve been a GM twice. Did I enjoy it? Heck yeah, from the standpoint of doing the roster. But there’s a lot of politics that play into it. I don’t deal with politics. I deal with football teams. Not saying it won’t happen some juncture, but right now, no.”
• Raiders waived RB C.J. Anderson. (NFLTR)
• Raiders signed OL Denver Kirkland off of the Cardinals’ practice squad.
• Raiders signed G Cameron Hunt.
