The Las Vegas Raiders are finalizing a deal to hire John Spytek as their new general manager, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
Spytek, 44, has spent the last nine years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as assistant general manager. He would replace Tom Telesco, who was fired by the Raiders earlier this month after one season.
It would mark Spytek’s first job as a general manager.
The move also would reunite Spytek with Raiders minority owner Tom Brady. Both played at Michigan in 1999 and both were part of the Bucs’ Super Bowl winning season in 2020.
In addition to Tampa, Spytek also has worked in the front offices for the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos. Spytek interviewed for the Raiders’ GM job in 2022 before they ultimately hired Dave Ziegler.
Spytek interviewed with the Tennessee Titans for their GM opening this cycle. The Titans just hired Mike Borgonzi.
The Raiders fired Telesco on Jan. 9, two days after dismissing head coach Antonio Pierce following a 4-13 season. Pierce, too, was fired after just one season.
