Raiders to interview Dwayne Joseph for GM opening

We can add another name to the list of Raiders GM candidates. According to Mike Jones of USA Today (on Twitter), the Raiders will interview director of pro personnel Dwayne Joseph for their general manager opening.

Joseph joined the Raiders back in 2019 as their director of pro scouting. Following his first two years on the job, Joseph was named as a top minority candidate for a GM job. However, the executive didn’t end up getting any interviews during last year’s cycle.

The 49-year-old has been in front offices since 1998. He’s had multiple stints with the Bears organization, including most recently as assistant director of pro personnel between 2013 and 2015. Joseph has also spent time with the Dolphins and Eagles.

Joseph is now the fifth candidate to emerge for the Raiders GM job, joining a list that already includes:

• Trey Brown, scout (Bengals): Interviewed 1/21
• Ed Dodds, vice president of player personnel (Colts): Interview requested
• Champ Kelly, assistant director of player personnel (Bears):Interviewed 1/20
• Dave Ziegler, director of player personnel (Patriots): Interviewed 1/21
