Former Raiders front office figure Mike Lombardi is eying a return to the league as well. Lombardi, who interviewed for the 49ers general manager job in 2010, is seen by sources as a strong candidate in Cleveland, where he has ties to new team president Joe Banner. Several league sources expect Banner to bring in a veteran executive to help oversee personnel, and perhaps a younger administrator as well to work on contracts and salary cap and begin to learn football operations. Lombardi previously worked in Cleveland as Director of Player Personnel under Bill Belichick, and his talent evaluation skills are well regarded. Lombardi, who currently serves in a media role, has been considered for several positions within the league since being fired by the Raiders in 2007.
Former Bears general manager Jerry Angelo is also eying a return to the league next season, sources said. Angelo was fired in January after an 11-season run as GM in Chicago.
