Redskins President Bruce Allen Denies Rumors About Him Possibly Returning To Raiders

On Tuesday, Redskins president Bruce Allen joined Sirius XM NFL Radio and denied the recent rumors that he may be interested in returning to the Raiders.

“Well, first of all, I do like the Silver and Black and I think Mark Davis, Reggie [McKenzie] and Jon [Gruden] are going to do great and I’m so excited for them to go to Vegas. But I’m not going there,” Allen said. “I have a job to do and we’re really looking forward to this season and what we’re going to be doing off the field here in future stadiums in Washington.”

A report from over the weekend mentioned that the Raiders were expected to make changes to their front office in the near future.

A source told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk that no changes have been made by the Raiders as of now, but it’s possible that could change soon enough.

According to Florio, there’s a belief in league circles that Allen is hoping to return to the Raiders and reunite with HC Jon Gruden.

Both Allen and Gruden spent time together in Tampa Bay several years ago.

Florio mentioned that if the Raiders were to add Allen, he would serve in an executive-type role, with no direct input over personnel but a significant role in managing the business, including the team’s new stadium in Las Vegas.

Allen worked for the Raiders from 1995 to 2002 before joining the Buccaneers for the 2003 season. The Redskins hired Allen as their GM back in 2009 and he’s been with the team ever since.

We’ll have more regarding Allen as the news is available.
