It has been revealed that Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders will hire Tampa Bay Buccaneers executive John Spytek as their new general manager.
Spytek, who spent a total of nine years in Tampa, rose to become assistant general manager of the Buccaneers in 2023 after initially joining as director of player personnel in 2016.
The 44-year-old was eventually promoted to vice president of player personnel five years later, a position he held for two seasons before making the move to assistant general manager under Jason Licht.
However, after concluding his ninth season with the Bucs, he is now ready to reunite with Brady, who won the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay in 2020, and take the top job in Las Vegas.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirmed Wednesday that Spytek will take over as general manager of the Raiders, who recently fired predecessor Tom Telesco after just one year.
Telesco’s firing came just a couple of days after head coach Antonio Pierce was also fired at Allegiant Stadium. The moves came after the Raiders went 4-13 this season.
