REPORT: Tom Brady talks up future with Raiders And His Desire To Restructure and Name Two Players Raiders Will Cut Going To 2025

Legendary NFL quarterback and current part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders,Tom Brady recently shared insights into his vision for the franchise and hinted at significant roster changes as the team looks toward the 2025 season. According to an ESPN report, Brady expressed his commitment to helping the Raiders return to prominence and discussed potential moves that could shape the team’s future.

Brady emphasized the importance of building a competitive roster and suggested that the Raiders may need to make difficult decisions to achieve that goal. Specifically, he mentioned two players—quarterback Desmond Ridder and tight end Brock Bowers—who may not remain with the team heading into 2025. While Brady did not elaborate on the reasons for these potential cuts, the implication is that the Raiders are considering a broader restructuring to align with their long-term goals.

Ridder, who joined the Raiders after being drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, has faced challenges in establishing himself as a consistent starter in the NFL. Meanwhile, Bowers, a highly touted tight end from Georgia, has struggled to meet the lofty expectations set for him during his transition to the professional level.

If Brady’s comments are any indication, the team may be seeking fresh talent to reinvigorate these key positions.

Brady also spoke about his desire to take an active role in shaping the Raiders’ future, noting his plans to work closely with the coaching staff and front office. “I want to see this team succeed, and sometimes that means making tough calls,” he explained. “We need to put ourselves in the best position to win.”

As a former player with seven Super Bowl titles, Brady’s insights carry considerable weight. His involvement as a part-owner has already brought increased attention to the Raiders, and his influence could extend to decisions that impact the team’s roster and overall direction.

The Raiders are coming off another challenging season, and fans are eager to see whether Brady’s leadership can help turn the team’s fortunes around. While his comments about roster cuts have sparked speculation, they also underline his determination to help the Raiders build a winning culture and compete at the highest level in the years ahead.

WATCH OUT: “I thought he commanded the offense and..”
Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell did something that no other quarterback has done against the Chiefs……….

The Las Vegas Raiders fell short in a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell did something that no other quarterback has done against the Chiefs this season.

Las Vegas Raiders interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner showed what a quarterback can do when you let him loose. Even though the Raiders fell short in Week 13 to the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell had arguably the best game of his young career.

O’Connell did something in Week 13 that no quarterback has done this season.

O’Connell who was coming off a broken thumb injury, did not show signs of it being a problem. O’Connell played free and with confidence. He stood in the pocket and delivered on drives when the Raiders needed to score.

The Chiefs have one of the best defenses in the NFL and the Raiders offense went up and down the field against them. O’Connell became the first quarterback this season to throw 300 yards against the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have faced top quarterbacks Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Brock Purdy. But none accomplished what O’Connell did. O’Connell finished the game by completing 23 out of 35 passes, having 340 yards and two touchdowns.

“I thought he competed. I thought, for what we knew we were getting with Spags [Steve Spagnulol] and that defense,” said Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce. “He stood in the pocket, made some tough throws, took some hits, took the shots down the field like we wanted. We had some opportunities to take shots down the field, he threw them. And I thought our skills guys did a hell of a job, competing and making some making really big plays for us.”

“I just think getting Aidan out there and getting more and more reps, I do not even think he has 17 starts yet in his career. Coming back after you know five, six-week layoff and just you know being sharp throwing the ball mentally, I mean he was totally engaged and understood what we needed to do especially in the two-minute drive. I thought he did a really good job there. I thought he commanded the offense.

“It was really good to see him, break the pocket and scramble for a little bit … I just love the way our guys competed. I love the attitude, the accountability that everybody played with throughout the game and kept their chin up, you know in a tough loss.”

“The Raiders may not see many more wins this season, if any at all” How the Raiders’ Offense is Undeniably Better Under New Coach

The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled on offense for much of the last two seasons. However, they have looked the best they have in years under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner.

The Las Vegas Raiders entered the season hoping their offense would take a step forward from being one of the worst in the National Football League last season. However, the opposite happened, as the Raiders’ offense seemed to have regressed through the first nine games of this season.

Even with a new offensive coordinator, new offensive scheme and many new offensive linemen, the Raiders offense was still arguably the worst in the league through the first half of the season. The Raiders fired Luke Getsy and named Scott Turner the interim offensive coordinator and the offense has looked significantly better.

While the Raiders have still yet to win a game since making the switch to Turner a few weeks ago, they have had a chance to win every game they have played under Turner. This in itself is a significant upgrade from Getsy, who seemed to be in over his head in Las Vegas.

The Raiders’ performance against the Kansas City Chiefs was arguably their best game of the season.

According to the Raiders’ Public Relations Department, “the Raiders finished with 434 total net yards of offense, including 318 net passing yards and 118 rushing yards. The Raiders’ 434 yards are the most in a single game this season and the most since Week 17 of 2022.

“The Raiders’ 318 net passing yards are also the most by the Raiders in a single game this season and the most since Week 17 of 2022. This was the fourth time in 2024 the Raiders rushed for more than 100 net yards.”

The Raiders may not see many more wins this season, if any at all. Las Vegas is a few weeks away from officially securing the top pick in the NFL Draft, which will change the future of the organization one way or the other.

There are many moving parts in the Raiders’ front office and it is anyone’s guess how Tom Brady becoming a minority owner will impact the team in the immediate. Still, the Raiders have shown they have the pieces to be successful, and that they are just a few more of the right pieces away from being competitive next season.

This season has not been pretty but with the play of second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell and how the offense has looked since Turner took over, it may be worth the Raiders’ consideration to plug holes where needed instead of blowing everything up.
