The Las Vegas Raiders have made a significant move by firing general manager Tom Telesco, just days after parting ways with head coach Antonio Pierce. This decision reflects the franchise's growing impatience, as both Telesco and Pierce had only one season with the team. While Telesco did manage to draft standout players such as Brock Bowers and Jackson Powers-Johnson, the lack of a franchise quarterback ultimately led to his dismissal.

Critics, including NBC Sports' Mike Florio, speculate that minority owner Tom Brady may have influenced the firing, suggesting that it was a strategic move to allow the next head coach to select their own personnel executive. The Raiders' approach seems to indicate a desire for a more stable and experienced leadership as they search for a new head coach and a reliable franchise quarterback.
