Tom Brady's first season as the lead color commentator for Fox Sports could have gone better. He didn't draw rave reviews from anyone, with many criticizing him for being too robot

Tom Brady may have taken his talents from the booth to the field, but he still has influence in what goes on across the NFL landscape. And one team he specifically has some hold on is the Las Vegas Raiders. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated recently highlighted the influence that the former New England Patriots signal-caller wields.

Brady is supposedly only in an advisory role for the Raiders, though several league sources are convinced his influence is much greater.

The Raiders latest GM interview request is Buccaneers Assistant GM John Spytech who Tom Brady knows quite well.

Mike Vrabel was believed to be a candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders’ vacant head coaching job. However, he was never interviewed by the organization because he reportedly told his former teammate—and Raiders minority owner—Tom Brady that he was going to New England, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco were relieved from their duties with the Raiders following a disastrous 4-13 campaign.

Most minority owners are not GOATs. Raiders co-owner Tom Brady, who personally holds five percent of the franchise, will have more than five percent of the influence over its operation in the coming years.

Raiders have experienced over the past three decades is unrivaled — unless you’re a Cleveland Browns fan. For a franchise with three Super Bowl trophies, it’s embarrassing to think their last Super Bowl appearance was a forgettable 48–21 loss to Jon Gruden’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002.

NFL legend Bill Belichick is focusing on recruiting for UNC but remains open to NFL opportunities after Tom Brady’s contact about the Raiders job.
