Reece, an Oakland Raiders’ fullback for the seven seasons from 2009-15, was always close with Davis during his playing days. Davis long used Reece as a sounding board during and after his playing days. It was not a surprise that Davis later hired Reece to an important role to the staff. Reece worked closely to Davis in his role and the two were often seen together.
It is unknown what are the reasons behind Reece’s departure from the organization and it is not known if Davis will replace him. The team has seen several key front-office members leave in the past couple of years.
