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

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.

Pierce was hired as the Raiders linebackers coach in 2022 under then-head coach Josh McDaniels. In October 2023, Pierce was named interim head coach after McDaniels was fired. In January 2024, he was officially named the Raiders head coach.
