New York Jets scout Joey Clinkscales has agreed to join the Oakland Raiders for a front office position, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. It had been rumored that the Raiders were interested in adding Clinkscales to their staff, but Clinkscales had previously downplayed the idea.
Clinkscales was a college teammate of current Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie while they played for Tennessee. Clinkscales served as VP of college scouting with the Jets and oversaw their drafts for the last five seasons. He has worked within the Jets organization for the last seventeen years.
