Nope, Ben Johnson is their #1 guy then Pete Carroll then the defensive co for the Lions in that order.
Adam Schefter pretty much questioned Ben Johnson possibly wanting the Raiders job. Raiders have nothing that Johnson was said to be looking for, not to mentioned Mark Davis have cried poor before.

Johnson to the Raiders makes absolutely no sense. Just go to Jax, Ben Johnson

Adam Schefter also reported that Tom Brady's involvement with the team is what intrigued Johnson about the Raiders job. Plus, they have $107 million in cap space to use. As crazy as it seems, the Raiders actually have a decent foundation in place for someone to take over, get a QB and be off and running. They have two thousand-yard receivers, a solid offensive line, Maxx Crosby and Wilkins on defense, and again, $107 million in cap space. Bower was a homerun draft pick and will be the best TE in the game before too long. He is a freakin beast. The QB is THE position they need to fill. I could easily see them being like Washington, get the QB position taken care of, and they're in business.

If the Lions can turn it around with the right HC hire, the Raiders can as well. If Brady is involved, you can bet they are more likely to hire the right guy than in years past.

Reputable reporting sources have said he is or at minimum is HEAVILY involved in the decision-making. The fact that the Raiders got an interview from Ben Johnson was BECAUSE of Brady's involvement with the team.
I still want to know how he is able to work for Fox when he is that involved. It is a major conflict of interest.

He actually sucks as a color guy anyway.

I highly doubt that gig survives much longer. He cannot do a lot of the weekly meetings at the facilities with the teams he'll be calling. He basically is on the peripheral of planning and preparing and calling the game from there. But Schefter, Rappaport, and others have reported he is HEAVILY involved in the Raiders HC/GM search.

I still think the raiders pick Milroe. I called this months ago and I am sticking to it.
Not sure he's a fit for Ben Johnson's offense (assuming that's who they hire), but man, it sure does sound like something Mark Davis would do

I like the prospect of Johnson coming to LV. The problem still lies with an owner who’s thrown money away with his coaching/GM hire failures.

I read somewhere, but not quite sure if it is true or not, the Raiders are still paying a couple of former HC and GM. Not to mention Raiders owner cried poor when he had to trade Khalil Mack. Then you have that division with those QB/HC combos, and there is no way Johnson makes to a second contract with the Raiders.

I always felt Jacksonville should be the choice for Johnson. 1. Trevor Lawrence, expensive but talented QB. 2. Winnable division. 3. It's Florida.
