There was word last week that the Dolphins had struck a deal with former Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie to make him part of their personnel department and the team made it official on Friday.The Dolphins announced in a release that McKenzie has been hired as a senior personnel executive. He will work with General Manager Chris Grier as the Dolphins prepare for free agency and the draft this offseason.More information about McKenzie’s role and responsibilities were not outlined by the team. Armando Salguero of the reported this week that McKenzie is not expected to work out of the team’s headquarters on a full-time basis.McKenzie spent seven years as the G.M. in Oakland
Marquel Lee Jersey , but the writing for his departure was on the wall once the team hired Jon Gruden as their head coach and gave him more control over personnel matters than his predecessors enjoyed in Oakland. Two games with Matt McCrane was enough for the Raiders. The undrafted rookie kicker went 5 for 9, missing both attempts outside 50 yards and his longest made field goal from 44 yards out. That’s pretty bad, so over the bye week
Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , the Raiders made the change.They had added fifth round rookie (167 overall) Daniel Carlson.The 6-foot-5 (!), 213-pounder was drafted in the fifth round out of Auburn last April this year by the Minnesota Vikings. He is a three-time All-American honoree by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and 2-time SEC Special Teams Player of the Year while also garnering second-team All-American honors by the Associated Press (2016-17). He ended his career in college as the Tigers’ and SEC’s record holder for points scored (480), career field goals made (92) and consecutive PATs made (198).He was cut by the Vikings after two games because he missed all three of his field goal attempts in the team’s week two tie with the Green Bay Packers. He will be given a second chance in Oakland.He becomes the Raiders’ fourth kicker this year. They originally were to started undrafted rookie Eddy Pineiro
DeAndre Washington Jersey , but he suffered a groin injury, so it was veteran Mike Nugent who started the season. Then he suffered a hip injury and the team signed McCrane. Follow @LeviDamien
