The Las Vegas Raiders wanted to interview one of the Seattle Seahawks' assistant coaches, but Seattle said no.
This comes from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who reported that the Raiders wanted to interview run-game specialist and assistant offensive line coach Justin Outten.
But because Las Vegas was interested in Outten for the same position, the Seahawks were able to block that request.
"The Raiders requested Seahawks assistant Justin Outten for run-game coordinator but Seattle blocked the request, per sources," Fowler reported.
In order for the Raiders to sidestep Seattle's block, they would have to interview Outten for a higher position, which in this case would be offensive coordinator.
Outten, who joined the Seahawks in 2025, is one of the Seahawks' candidates for offensive coordinator after they lost Klint Kubiak to Las Vegas.
Along with Outten, the Seahawks have interviewed or will interview other in-house candidates that include quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, pass-game coordinator Jake Peetz and tight ends coach Mack Brown.
As for the Raiders, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer suggested Kubiak could look to hire Janocko or Seahawks offensive line coach John Benton for his offensive coordinator vacancy.
Janocko specifically is viewed as the favorite to be Kubiak's offensive coordinator, but Breer believes he would prefer the Seahawks job over the Raiders' because he can call plays in Seattle.
