Longtime Oakland Raiders CEO Amy Trask resigns

Oakland Raiders Chief Executive Amy Trask, who joined the Raiders in 1987 and became CEO in 1997, resigned from the team on Saturday.

“Earlier today, I informed Mark Davis of my decision to leave the Raiders,” she said in a statement. “Having honored a commitment that I made to effectuate a smooth transition and transfer of control, I no longer wish to remain with the organization. For over a quarter of a century, it was my honor and my privilege to work for the Raiders. I will forever appreciate the opportunity afforded me by Al Davis.”

Davis, the longtime owner of the team, died in October 2011, and Mark Davis took over the Raiders following his father’s death.

“Mark Davis, Carol Davis and the rest of the Raiders family would like to thank Amy Trask for her valued contributions to the Raiders for the past 25 years. The Raiders wish her the very best in her future endeavors.”

The organization has been almost completely overhauled since Al Davis’ death, with most of the coaches, scouts and many front-office executives no longer part of the Raiders as Mark Davis attempts to put his stamp on the team.
