The Raiders interviewed Assistant GM Lance Newmark

Tom Brady called the Leaders’ win Saturday over the Lions and the team he owns will interview someone who had a hand in putting these two teams together on Sunday.

The Raiders, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Interviews are conducted Assistant GM Lance Newmark for the vacant GM position.

Newmark was appointed by Commander-in-Chief Adam Peters after joining Washington last year and has spent the past 26 years working with the Lions. His last position in Detroit’s front office was senior director of player personnel, so he helped put together a club that won 15 games to become the top seed in the NFC as well as the team that knocked them off in Detroit.

Newmark’s time with the Lions means he also has a relationship with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who has emerged as the favorite to be the next coach in Las Vegas in recent days.
