By the Raiders, or so it would seem in the hiring of J.G.
Will be interesting to watch this one play out.
I fully understand why this rule is in place but I truly think it’s a stupid one, because most every owner in almost every circumstance knows who he/she wants to hire before they interview anyone.
Forcing (by rule) an owner to interview people they have no intention on hiring seems a waste to me but that’s just my opinion.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the NFL handles this.
It’s fairly obvious by using Davis’s own words that a deal was in place before Del Rio was even fired/ let go.

IIRC, the last team that violated the Rooney rule was fined 200k but that was a good while back.
Lions back in “03”
Thoughts?
Maybe a draft pick + fine?
Here’s a wiki link for those not familiar with the rule.
