With plenty of rumors swirling regarding who the Oakland Raiders will turn to as their new general manager, it appears that current Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim may be a top choice.
Keim has been the GM in Arizona since 2013, but there has been recent uncertainty surrounding whether he will return for another season due to the franchise's current struggles.
The Cardinals are just 3-12 on the season, and that has led to speculation that head coach Steve Wilks could be fired after one year on the job.
So, if Keim is also let go, it sounds like he could be in line to find a new job in a hurry with the Raiders.
From Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated:
If Keim is out in Arizona, word is that he’ll be a top candidate for the GM job with the Raiders, who would prefer to bring in an experienced personnel man.
There's no doubt that Oakland needs someone with lots of NFL experience, as the franchise is essentially undergoing a complete overhaul at this point.
Jon Gruden is already trying to find ways to make upgrades at many key positions on the roster, but none of that will matter if the front office is structured in a way that doesn't allow the team to be successful on the field.
The Raiders have lots of uncertainties themselves when it comes to where they will play next season, and filling the GM role in the near future is undoubtedly a top priority entering what will be a crucial offseason for Gruden and company.
