2025, like every year, was supposed to be the year of the Las Vegas Raiders. The year that this iconic franchise with an illustrious history was supposed to return to greatness and take the NFL by storm. But, also like every year, that didn't exactly happen.
Just a week into January, the Raiders cut ties with head coach Antonio Pierce and, shortly after, general manager Tom Telesco. A full reset was on the way once again, as bright, young Tampa Bay Buccaneers executive John Spytek took the reins as the general manager in Las Vegas.
Although minority owner Tom Brady was sure he could swoon hotshot coordinator Ben Johnson to be the Raiders' next head coach, he spurned the Silver and Black for the Chicago Bears.
