"The Raiders will beef up and restructure their front office following the passing of former owner Al Davis, according to team and league sources. If Oakland misses the postseason, that process will begin in earnest as soon as Monday, the sources said.

Two names with ties to the organization -- Reggie McKenzie and Elliot Wolf of the Green Bay Packers -- are mentioned repeatedly by sources with knowledge of the process as favorites to end up with the Raiders. Former longtime NFL personnel executive Ken Herock, who had three stints with the Raiders, is advising owner Mark Davis on the process and has been a regular presence at Oakland's team's facility, according to sources."
