The office of Oakland Raiders director of football research Dave Razzano is situated right next to that of head coach Jon Gruden, and the short path between the two men’s doors has been well-worn since February as they’ve plotted the team’s uncharted future.
GM Reggie McKenzie’s office is down the hall.
Razzano and Gruden have collaborated closely on almost every personnel move that has happened in the time since Gruden locked up one of the most stunning coaching contracts the NFL has ever seen — a well-documented $100 million over the next decade. That's likely more money than Bill Belichick even makes.
