Spytek has ties to Vegas minority owner Tom Brady, having played alongside the former QB at Michigan decades before they went on to win a Super Bowl together in Tampa Bay — with Spytek as the assistant GM. He’s now the third full-time general manager in three seasons for the Raiders, who fired Tom Telesco after one year following a 4-13 season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant GM John Spytek will get his first opportunity to run a team himself. The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to hire him as their new GM.
