Former Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets general manager Rod Graves just got a major promotion. The NFL has hired Graves to be the senior Vice President of football administration.
Now that is a fancy title that doesn't really spell out what Graves will be doing, which is a shame since his job description is a lengthy and important one. Graves will "oversee all club and game-related initiatives concerning the Competition Committee, general managers, and head coaches" according to league sources. Graves will also "develop and implement new strategic programs within our Football Development Group".
