Dan Ventrelle out as Raiders team president

Las Vegas Raiders team President Dan Ventrelle has left the organizati­on less than a year after taking over the job.

Owner Mark Davis announced in a statement Friday that Ventrelle “is no longer with the Raiders organizati­on” but divulged no details around the decision.

Ventrelle took over as team president on an interim basis last July after Marc Badain resigned. Ventrelle was promoted to the fulltime role after the season ended in January.

Ventrelle and Badain played key roles in the Raid- ers’ move from Oakland, California, to Las Vegas but both are gone before the team starts its third season in Nevada.

Ventrelle is the latest in a string of high-ranking business executives to leave the team in the past year. Chief Financial Officer Ed Villanueva and controller Araxie Grant left with Badain over the summer in what Davis later called an issue of “accounting irregulari­ties.”

Three other senior vice presidents have also left the team in the past year: Tom Blanda, Mark Shearer and Brandon Doll.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday that chief operations and analytics officer Jeremy Aguero resigned after seven months.

The Raiders have also undergone sig ificant changes on the football side of the organizati­on with coach Jon Gruden resigning last October following the publicatio­n of offensive emails he sent before taking the job. General manager Mike Mayock was fired after the season.
