The remaking of the Raiders front office in Jon Gruden’s own image continues.

According to Jim Trotter of ESPN, the Raiders have fired director of player personnel Joey Clinkscales, a long-time Reggie McKenzie aide.

The 54-year-old Clinkscales joined the Raiders in 2012 alongside McKenzie, who was fired and replaced by former NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock.

Clinkscales previously worked for the Jets (1994-2012), but his ties to McKenzie made him an endangered species in Oakland/somewhere/Las Vegas.
