ALAMEDA Oshane Ximines Jersey , Calif. (AP) The NFL said Thursday it will investigate whether the Oakland Raiders violated the ”Rooney Rule” when they hired Jon Gruden as coach.The Fritz Pollard Alliance called for the investigation on Wednesday out of concern that Raiders owner Mark Davis came to an agreement with Gruden before the team interviewed any minority candidates as required by the NFL since 2003.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement that the NFL will ”look into this.”The Fritz Pollard Alliance is dedicated to promoting diversity and equality of job opportunity in the coaching, front office and scouting staffs of NFL teams.Davis said Tuesday at the news conference introducing Gruden as the team’s new coach that he had been trying to make the move for six years and finally believed it would happen after a meeting in Philadelphia on Christmas Eve, the day before Gruden worked a game between the Raiders and Eagles on ESPN.”I felt pretty confident that he was all-in,” Davis said. ”And that’s the term that we were using in our discussions and everything, are you all-in? And I never wavered from all-in. And this time he didn’t waver, either.”Davis fired Jack Del Rio a week later and the team officially hired Gruden on Jan. 6. Davis also said he wouldn’t have fired Del Rio if he didn’t believe Gruden would sign on as coach.”I believe that I would’ve sat down with Jack and we would’ve figured out coordinators and assistant coaches and things like that and try to figure out how to reinvigorate the franchise through Jack Julian Love Jersey ,” he said.Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said Tuesday he interviewed two minority candidates before Gruden’s hiring was announced. Those candidates were Oakland tight ends coach Bobby Johnson and Southern California offensive coordinator Tee Martin.The Raiders haven’t commented on the request from the Fritz Pollard Alliance. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Josh Rosen will reboot by trying to help the Miami Dolphins rebuild.Rosen, supplanted by Kyler Murray as the Arizona Cardinals‘ quarterback of the future after only one season, was traded Friday to become part of Miami’s makeover under first-round coach Brian Flores.If Rosen makes an unfavorable first impression with the Dolphins, they might still use their top pick next year on a franchise quarterback. For now, Rosen will contend with well-traveled veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick Darius Slayton Jersey , who signed in March after the Dolphins traded Ryan Tannehill to Tennessee.Arizona used the No. 1 overall pick Thursday to draft Murray, the Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma. For Rosen, the Cardinals acquired from Miami a second-round choice — No. 62 overall — which they used to draft Massachusetts receiver Andy Isabella.Miami also gave the Cardinals a fifth-round pick in 2020.Arizona used the 10th overall pick on Rosen last year, and the former UCLA star had a rocky rookie season. He finished 33rd in the 32-team NFL in passing rating, throwing for 2,278 yards and 11 touchdowns with 14 interceptions T.J. Hockenson Jersey , and the Cardinals finished last in points and yards while going 3-13.The trade became final with the Dolphins on the clock to make their second-round pick, and it followed a day of speculation about a deal. Rosen wasn’t surprised — he quickly posted a photo of himself in a Dolphins uniform on Instagram.“He was always a guy that has had a ton of talent,” Miami general manager Chris Grier said. “He’s a smart guy. He can throw it. What everyone always liked about him was how cerebral he was. It’s a young talented guy at a premium position.”And he has a first-round pedigree — a rarity with the Dolphins. Since 1983, they have drafted only one quarterback in the first round — Tannehill in 2012.“We’re very high on Josh Rosen and certainly were fine to keep him,” Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said. “There were a number of things that went into it. It’s sort of a sliding scale when you look at the value of what you get for the player as well as the number of players that you can get.”Flores will decide whether Fitzpatrick or Rosen should start this year, said Grier http://www.lionscheapstore.com/jahlani-tavai-jersey-cheap , who didn’t seem concerned about a potential quarterback controversy.“Ryan Fitzpatrick has been great,” Grier said. “He’s got personality.
