The Raiders on Monday officially announced Rich Snead's hiring to work in their player personnel department.
What exactly his job is is anyone's guess. The statement announcing the move didn't give Snead a title, stating only the "veteran pro player personnel evaluator" was back with the franchise.
Snead was a scout for the Los Angeles Raiders from 1990 to '93 before he joined the then-Houston Oilers as director of pro personnel.
Snead was the Tennessee Titans' director of player personnel for the past nine seasons. He worked closely with former Titans general manager Floyd Reese.
Snead likely will assume the role of the fired Mike Lombardi, who was the Raiders' senior personnel executive. Lombardi negotiated contracts, a task director of football development Mark Jackson has taken an active role in.
Snead will work in that regard in addition to working with Jackson and coach Lane Kiffin in scouting.
At least that's what we think.
