The Raiders have reached out to three general manager candidates after completing their first set of coaching interviews.
The Raiders added a seventh name to their list of coaching candidates Monday. It’s the second candidate they’ve asked to speak to within their division.
The Raiders have released Sean Smith from a four-year contract, a source said Monday. His next pact reportedly involves one year in jail and three years on probation.

The Raiders are known to be more defense-minded entering the March 14 start of free agency than they were at this stage in 2017.

New Raiders secondary coach Derrick Ansley had a family of sorts at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis as five Alabama defensive backs he coached for the past two years under Nick Saban all competed at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Raiders hoped the Aldon Smith story would conclude on a positive note. It still can, although not with them.
Incoming NFL rookie Kahlil McKenzie is no stranger to the league. He grew up around it.

The Raiders won’t own the No. 9 overall draft pick on April 26 after all, officially assigned the 10th selection courtesy of a coin-toss tiebreaker at the NFL Scouting Combine. The San Francisco 49ers will choose ninth.
