Raiders Interview Commanders Executive for GM Position

The Las Vegas Raiders are actively searching for a new general manager and are set to interview Lance Newmark, the current assistant GM of the Washington Commanders, who previously spent 26 years with the Detroit Lions. Newmark has strong ties to Ben Johnson, the Lions' offensive coordinator and a leading candidate for the Raiders' head coaching position.
