Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie has collected some fine young talent with the likes of quarterback Derek Carr, receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack. Now McKenzie has been rewarded for that.
The Raiders have announced that McKenzie has signed a four-year contract extension and is now under contract through the 2021 draft.
“Reggie’s contract was up at the end of this year, and we felt was time to reward him for the job that he has done,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said.
The Raiders haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002, but they’re trending in the right direction, and Davis thinks McKenzie’s personnel decisions will be the key to bringing a championship to Oakland. Or Las Vegas.
