Stop us if you've heard this before: The Las Vegas Raiders are set to hire a member of the New England Patriots.
The Raiders are "working towards" adding Patriots national scout Brandon Yeargan as their new college scouting director, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported Friday.
Yeargan has spent nine seasons in New England, joining the team in 2013 as a scouting assistant before being promoted to national scout under new director of player personnel Matt Groh.
That means Yeargan also spent nine seasons with Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels, who took over as Las Vegas' general manager and head coach, respectively, this offseason.
