He also notes that the Raiders could pair Gamble with current 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. Gamble and Harbaugh spent some time together in San Francisco before the Eagles hired Gamble away in the 2013 offseason.

ESPN Insider Adam Caplan recently noted that Gamble is the number one candidate for landing a general manager job this offseason. The Eagles face a very real possibility of losing him this offseason.
