Mike Mayock has long had a “ready list” of candidates to join his staff if he ever landed in an NFL front office. The new Raiders general manager wasted no time adding a name.
The Raiders will hire former Indianapolis Colts GM Ryan Grigson, Pro Football Talk reported Friday morning, citing a league source. The website said it was a “done deal.”
This news comes two days after the team fired director of player personnel Joey Clinkscales, who was former GM Reggie McKenzie’s right-hand man. Grigson’s title remains uncertain at this time -- the Raiders have not made an announcement -- but it’s logical Grigson would slip into Clinkscales’ former spot in the personnel department.
