Earlier this week, we heard that the Raiders are considering former Colts GM Ryan Grigson for a front office position. Apparently, it’s already a “done deal,” according to a source who spoke with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. 
Grigson spent five years as the Colts’ GM and he ultimately failed to give Andrew Luck a proper supporting cast or build up the team’s defense. He could be a very helpful sidekick to new Raiders GM Mike Mayock, however, as he leaves the broadcast booth to run a team with Jon Gruden.
It was previously reported that the 49ers were also interested in Grigson, but that’s simply not true, according to Florio’s source. It’s not clear if the 49ers engaged Grigson in conversations or if Grigson’s camp was simply looking to build leverage by leaking word of San Francisco’s supposed interest.
Grigson is best known for his time with the Colts, but he’s spent time with the Browns and Seahawks since his dismissal. His exact role in Oakland is unclear, but he figures to be heavily involved in draft scouting and player evaluation.
That guy?! LOL!!!!
So Raiders
So glad it’s no longer “so Browns.”
A ‘GM’ who hasn’t ever been anything but a TV personality. Going w/ a TV personality posing as a HC. Now A dude who was so awful, he got poster’ized by a punter & an owner whose team is homeless for a year? Yeah, good luck next 3-4 years Raiders’ fans.
Lemme guess…the Raiders will be the team on “hard knocks” next year too…they are too busy being a sitcom than an NFL team anyway..
Yeah just don’t give the green light for trades
The genius GM who trade a 1st rounder for Trent Richardson
Grigson is best known for almost destroying Andrew Luck by refusing to put a decent OL in front of him. The old boy network is alive and well keeping incompetent people like Grigson employed.
