The Las Vegas Raiders surprisingly fired general manager Tom Telesco and Tom Brady had a large role in the move.

The Raiders will look for their fifth GM since Mark Davis took over as owner for his late father Al Davis in 2011.

Telesco, who was hired in January 2024, appeared to be safe after the Raiders announced they were firing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday. However, Telesco would join Pierce two days later as the Raiders—under some influence of minority owner Tom Brady—decided to do a drastic overhaul at the top.
