@RapSheet: #Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie had a meeting with his scouts today where he informed them he was fired, per me and @TomPelissero. He was given the chance to stay the season, but is not expected to do so. [Reply]

I heard he choice the Bears because he felt their pick would be higher than 49ers. [Reply]

So would everyone else. 49ers were viewed as a legit contender with the streak Garoppolo was on and the Bears were in the same division as Aaron Rodgers and the hotshot Vikings with a better QB. [Reply]

Davis and Gruden doesn’t want logic or reasoning muddying the water on their decisions. [Reply]
Strange to fire a GM after an upset win but it obviously has been considered long before now. Not a stretch to consider Gruden the real GM now and into the future. [Reply]
