The Las Vegas Raiders franchise required a fresh start following the recent turbulent seasons, prompting team owner Mark Davis to ensure that past errors were not repeated.
In the middle of the 2023 season, Davis dismissed former general manager Dave Zeigler and former head coach Josh McDaniels, appointing Tom Telesco and Antonio Pierce as their replacements. Telesco and Pierce have been entrusted with revitalizing the Las Vegas organization, and their early performance has been encouraging.
Pierce guided the Raiders to a 5-4 record as the interim head coach, while Telesco made a significant impact in free agency by securing the signing of Christian Wilkinson. This move garnered widespread acclaim and demonstrated the team’s commitment to competitiveness in 2024.
Tom Brady is poised to join the new leadership, with discussions underway for him to acquire a minority stake in the Raiders. However, it seems his proposal will face further delays, as indicated by Mark Maske of The Washington Post:
“At the upcoming annual league meeting, NFL team owners are unlikely to conduct a vote to approve former NFL player Tom Brady’s bid for a partial ownership of the Raiders. The potential agreement, which entails Brady purchasing a minority stake in the ownership, remains pending, barring any last-minute changes next week.”
