Report: NFL Team Has Interest in Jim Harbaugh, But Hasn't Engaged Yet

Las Vegas may have interest in Jim Harbaugh, who served as the franchise's quarterbacks coach 20 years ago, but the Raiders haven't yet engaged directly with the Michigan coach according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport appeared on Friday's edition of the Pat McAfee Show to discuss the widespread rumors about Harbaugh's latest dalliance with the NFL. While other teams like Chicago have come up in Harbaugh talks, no team has been widely connected to him as a candidate than Las Vegas.

Rapoport not-so-subtly hinted at the idea that—because most of the smoke is coming from Harbaugh's side of these talks—he could be using the Raiders as leverage to get a new contract from his alma mater.
