The Las Vegas Raiders have hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Dave Ziegler as general manager on Sunday and are expected to hire Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, in a package deal.

The Raiders and McDaniels are still finalizing a contract, the sources said.

The 44-year-old Ziegler, the Patriots' director of player personnel, replaces Mike Mayock, who was fired earlier this month. He interviewed with the Raiders earlier in January.

McDaniels, who was the head coach of the Denver Broncos for two seasons (2009-10), interviewed for the Raiders' head-coaching job Saturday.

Jon Gruden resigned as the Raiders' head coach on Oct. 11 following reports that emails he wrote before he was hired by the Raiders in 2018 included racist, misogynistic and anti-gay language. Rich Bisaccia was promoted to interim coach and led the Raiders to a wild-card berth, only the Raiders' second playoff appearance in the past 19 seasons.
