Former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell is joining the Las Vegas Raiders as their new linebackers coach and run game coordinator, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
The Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens were among the teams who pursued Caldwell, per Garafolo, but he ultimately chose to work for the Silver and Black and new head coach Antonio Pierce.
Caldwell will work on defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's staff. Graham, who went to Las Vegas to work as the DC on ex-head coach Josh McDaniels' staff in 2022, is staying in Vegas under Pierce.
