The #Raiders pursuit of Jon Gruden and the $$ they’ll spend to secure the most coveted coach on market is compelling evidence the impact and importance of squaring away their long-range stadium future with a state of the art venue and all the various revenue streams it creates

Raiders are calling a significant press conference for Tuesday at which time they will introduce Jon Gruden as their next head coach

Rams play at the Raiders next year. McVay to meet his mentor.

Another example of why the Rams have, by far, the best special teams in the NFL. Three of the five special teams All-Pro first teamers wear horns.

McVay says Barron will start. “Mark’s feeling good… The weather being so nice out here, I think that does play a factor in his health.”

ESPN reports, en Español, that Rams will play in Mexico City next year. League hasn’t announced it but the Rams have considered Mexico a more likely destination than London (for a third consecutive year).

One thing about this story, on Sean McVay’s hiring process…it’s well-known that the Rams brought in Jared Goff to talk to McVay during the interview process. But they also brought in Aaron Donald:

Jared Goff faced Atlanta last season, threw two interceptions and was sacked three times. He was asked today if he would review tape of that game and flatly said, “No.”

Imagine, a year ago, saying the Rams would triple their number of AP All-Pro players from 2016 (from 2 to 6). This season remains insane.

Can a defensive tackle take over an NFL playoff game? When it comes to Aaron Donald, the film says absolutely

Rams-Raiders 2018 (McVay-Gruden) has prime time written all over it.
