Raiders fire McKenzie

Deadspin: Raiders fire McKenzie

Well... That's significant.

Some of Keim's recent "hits" include deals involving Keim to McKenzie bro-fisting.

We got Carson Palmer in a deal with the Raiders.

McKenzie didn't sign Jared Veldheer, and Keim was able to grab him on a good contract for a starting LT.

And most recently, we are able to swap draft positions with the Raiders and draft Josh Rosen.

Lots to review by real reporters and writers about the long-term impact this might have on the Raiders.

But for the Cardinals, we lost one of AZ's most buddy-buddy trade partners. Heck, the Patriots might be our best trade resource moving into a potential year with Keim again.

I think deadspin has it right that Chucky is asserting dominance in Oakland/Vegas, but I'm curious if this is a model Bidwill thinks about.

Fire the GM, retain your first year HC. Not the same investment in Wilks that the Raiders have in Gruden - but it's a blueprint that exists.

I suppose the McCarthy firing is another blueprint.

I just hope we don't get embarrassed at Atlanta at this point.

For at least now, we do have a reference to show mid-season GM firing this year, and Bidwill must also have some relationship ties given the recent Cards/Raiders history.

What will happen?! Only time now to see when and how things change for the Cards.
