2024 Las Vegas Raiders

[Don Wassall]

Weenieworld actually tells it the way it is for once:

Ameer Abdullah (foot) is doubtful for Week 18 against the Chargers. Abdullah has quietly proven to be the Raiders’ most explosive back down the stretch, but a foot injury suffered late in Week 17’s win over the Saints appears to be the end of his season. Alexander Mattison should see the bulk of the backfield touches for Las Vegas. Rookie Dylan Laube could also see some work, though the team has largely opted to play anyone with a pulse over the Day Three pick so far.

Deservedly so.

I don't think 2 black HCs would've gotten canned after only 1 season a few years ago during peak BLM. The usual suspects are already firing up the outrage machine but it's unclear that anyone really cares.

The Floyd moment certainly screwed some orgs up, and I find it funny. I also think the tribe owners are in on the joke and the non-tribe owners are the Goober marks.

Yes and yes!

The Steelers have drafted as poorly as any team, so this possible DEI hire makes perfect sense from the perspective of the Caste NFL. White isn't the GM (that's Honduran/Indian mix Omar Khan) but is the organization's head of scouting.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders requested to interview Steelers director of pro personnel Sheldon White for their open general manager position. White has several years of front office experience under his belt, operating as the Steelers’ director of pro personnel for the last three seasons. Before that, he was a scout for the Commanders, executive director of player personnel and recruiting for Michigan State, and rotated several different front office positions for the Lions. White would be a first-time general manager for the Raiders, though he was an interim general manager for the Lions in 2015. The Raiders fired Tom Telesco last week and have several interview requests lined up to fill the role.
