Jim Schwartz still lingers as a possibility for Raiders defensive coordinator

The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly interested in Jim Schwartz for their defensive coordinator position. Schwartz recently resigned from his role with the Cleveland Browns but remains under contract with them through 2026, with a team option for 2027. Despite his resignation, the Browns have not released Schwartz, and NFL rules prevent the trading of assistant coaches. Schwartz's departure came after the Browns appointed Todd Monken as their new head coach, a position Schwartz was considered for and expected to get. Speculation suggests that a potential trade between the Raiders and Browns could include compensation for Schwartz if the Browns release his rights. Alternatively, Schwartz could reconsider his resignation, complicating the situation further. The Raiders' interest in Schwartz remains, and developments are anticipated once the Browns secure a new defensive coordinator.
