The Raiders’ search for a new General Manager is set to include an interview with Bears assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Kelly is slated to meet with the team on Thursday. Kelly is also on the list of G.M. candidates with his current team, which he joined in 2015, and he’s interviewed for other openings in recent years.

Rapoport also reports that Patriots director of player personnel Dave Ziegler is slated to interview with the team on Friday. Ziegler was identified as a candidate for the job before the team fired Mike Mayock on Monday.

Colts assistant G.M. Ed Dodds and Bengals scout Trey Brown have also come up as candidates for the opening in Las Vegas.

  1. At first I misread that as Chip Kelly and went “REALLY?!? COME ON!!” but then realized it said Champ Kelly.

  2. Not sure the track record of the Bears indicates Kelly could be an upgrade over Mayock, but ok.
