Raiders confirm Tom Brady’s specific role for when Fernando Mendoza gets to Las Vegas

John Spytek clears the air on Tom Brady connection at Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a new era, and among the fresh faces reshaping the franchise are general manager John Spytek and minority owner Tom Brady. Given their shared history at Michigan in the late 1990s, it was widely assumed that Brady played a part in bringing Spytek aboard.

Yeah, we were teammates," Spytek said on the 3 & Out Podcast."But I mean, we hadn't really spoken in 20 years. So it wasn't like this was my friend walking into the building."The comment puts to bed speculation that Brady, now involved in ownership, influenced the Raiders' front-office hiring decisions.
