The two-month vacancy for assistant general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders has finally come to an end. Since Champ Kelly and the regime of Pete Carroll and John Spytek headed in different directions towards the end of February, Sin City’s football team has been in need of an assistant general manager.
On Wednesday, that role was filled by now-former Denver Broncos director of college scouting Brian Stark.
Stark, who spent 13 consecutive seasons with the Broncos, was a co-worker of Spytek for three years. With Denver’s football team, Spytek worked as a southwest area scout before becoming a full-time national scout for two years, prior to moving onto a bigger role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he stayed until this offseason.
Now, Stark joins the Silver and Black, remaining in the same AFC West conference he’s all too familiar with.
That isn’t the only move the Raiders made on Wednesday. With a new assistant general manager came a new assistant director of college scouting; a role fulfilled by Johnathon Stigall.
Stigall, like Stark, comes from a place where he last spent over a decade at. Working with the New York Jets since 2013, Stigall was an 11-year member of the Jets’ scouting team.
The Raiders have lacked sustained continuity for some time, specifically in the front office. That’s what Spytek is looking to bring to the Raiders. While these are new pieces to Las Vegas’ scouting team, they are guys who have remained in places for over a decade each.
A new chapter begins for these two men; one that’s written in silver and black ink.
