NFL insiders have reported strong interest for Ben Johnson from the Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars. He's likely putting that out on purpose to build more leverage in negotiations.

The Las Vegas Raiders are among three teams to have interviewed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for their head-coaching vacancy, along with the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is a candidate for the head-coach opening of the Las Vegas Raiders, and momentum has been building that he could end up there. If that's the case, one Raiders insider believes the team will have interest in one of the Lions' quarterbacks.

The Raiders will reportedly interview a longtime former Lions personnel man for their vacant GM position, possibly in an attempt to lure Ben Johnson.
