The Las Vegas Raiders have undergone a significant revamp since the inclusion of Tom Brady into the team’s ownership brass. The team let go of Antonio Pierce and brought in a Super Bowl-winning head coach in Pete Carroll. Then came the addition of Chip Kelly as the new offensive coordinator, and the subsequent trade for quarterback Geno Smith.
The new-look Raiders have strengthened their offense this season. The addition of Smith will help Brock Bowers to maximize his production, and Ashton Jeanty is a potential superstar coming off an incredible NCAA season. The credit for these changes goes to the ownership, and it seems like Mark Davis implements all of Brady’s suggestions.
Davis has consistently lauded Brady for his role as a part-owner. The seven-time Super Bowl winner’s opinion counts for a lot, but he prefers to keep the extent of his involvement in the decision-making process within the Raiders building.
Well, I’m just a limited partner, so Mark’s the boss, and then Pete does his job and Spy (John Spytek) does his job and, I think, we trust them to make the right decisions. I’m there as a great sounding board for anything they want to do.
Brady told the media when asked about his role in the day-to-day operations of the team. He prefers to take a humble approach, taking a page out of Bill Belichick’s book and crediting the front office and coaching for doing their job.
