Overview
- On ESPN’s First Take, Smith said the Raiders should put minority owner Tom Brady in charge of football operations.
- The call followed a 31-0 home defeat that dropped Las Vegas to 2-12, with the offense limited to 75 total yards, per reports.
- Brady holds an estimated five percent stake in the franchise and was seen in the coaching booth during Week 2, prompting conflict-of-interest questions given his Fox role.
- Coverage notes Brady was reportedly influential in hiring coach Pete Carroll and GM John Spytek and in acquiring Geno Smith, moves that have not produced results.
- Smith acknowledged Brady is unlikely to take the job because of his reported $37 million-plus annual Fox contract.
