Raiders senior executive John Herrera stressed Saturday with regard to speculation about Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen not to expect any homecoming stories. “The reality of the situation is we have cap people, and they do a good job,’’ Herrera said in reference to Allen. “Bruce was a cap guy here, not a personnel guy.’’ As for Gruden, Herrera called speculation of a return “reckless,’’ and noted, “there are no hard feelings, no bad blood that would stand in the way of anything. His record was OK at Tampa Bay, but just OK. We’ve been down that road.’’ Gruden was 57-55 in Tampa Bay with two division titles and no playoff wins after the Super Bowl season of 2002.
