“We’re working with a firm called Mortenson, and they have a local partnership with McCarthy,” Raiders President Marc Badain said. “Until the ink is dry on the contract, it’s sort of as if when you sign a player, we wait until they’ve actually signed it before announcing it. We’re working on finalizing that, but they’ve been our partner for awhile now, they’ve done a spectacular job for us and we’re very confident in them.”
