Raiders Notes: Bruce Allen, GM Candidates, Daniel Carlson

Bruce Allen

  • Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the idea of the Raiders bringing current Redskins president Bruce Allen to replace Reggie McKenzie as the teamโ€™s GM does not sound like something thatโ€™s on the front burner at this point in time.

GM Candidates

  • Pelissero mentions that the Raiders will need to find someone willing to stand up to HC Jon Gruden and someone he respects enough to have a good relationship, as they work together to reshape the teamโ€™s roster in the coming years.
  • Ian Rapoport mentioned Jimmy Raye III and Mark Dominik as possibilities for the Raiders and Pelissero adds former Colts GM Chris Polian as a name worth watching.

Daniel Carlson

Raiders HC Jon Gruden said K Daniel Carlson is โ€œthe real dealโ€ and could be a long-term solution for them:

โ€œHe is the real deal,โ€ Gruden said, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal. โ€œHe was a pretty high draft kick for a placekicker. He had his struggles in Minnesota, but he has found his rhythm here and hopefully he is a long-term solution for us.โ€
