Raiders fans have a lot of questions after the team fired coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco this week.

After winning two of their final three games, the Raiders dropped to the No. 6 spot in the NFL draft and probably will have to trade up to get a quarterback.
Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers finished with the third-most receptions in the NFL, was eighth in receiving yards and fourth in yards after the catch.
The Raiders are scheduled to interview a Super Bowl-winning coach as they search for Antonio Pierce’s replacement.
No matter how much power Tom Brady will have with the Raiders, nothing can hide the level of impermanence that has defined the organization for years.
The Raiders will be looking to improve their roster as they head into free agency with approximately $25 million in cap space. Teams were allowed to contact and negotiate with free agents on Monday.
The team has more holes than Donut Mania, meaning head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Reggie McKenzie will look to land some immediate skill.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden did not seem impressed with Marshall Newhouse last month upon mentioning the right tackle at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
The Raiders signed wide receiver Griff Whalen to a one-year contract Monday, a source said. The former Stanford standout was last with the Baltimore Ravens before his Oct. 31 release.
The Raiders have released Sean Smith from a four-year contract, a source said Monday. His next pact reportedly involves one year in jail and three years on probation.
Days before the start of free agency, the Raiders retained a key run stopper. Nose tackle Justin Ellis has agreed to a three-year contract worth more than $15 million, including $6.25 million guaranteed.
Reggie McKenzie does not need a second opinion. The Raiders general manager believes in Gareon Conley. He long has.
The Raiders are known to be more defense-minded entering the March 14 start of free agency than they were at this stage in 2017.
Former Oakland Raiders player Aldon Smith on Tuesday surrendered to police who said he is a suspect in a domestic violence incident reported three days earlier.
New Raiders secondary coach Derrick Ansley had a family of sorts at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis as five Alabama defensive backs he coached for the past two years under Nick Saban all competed at Lucas Oil Stadium.
