The Las Vegas Raiders’ season is almost over. They are 2-11 heading into their Week 15 game on Monday Night Football. The Raiders have three games left after Monday’s contest. Then the work for the next season begins.

The Raiders currently have the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and will likely finish the season at or near the top of the draft board. The Raiders need to decide which players to target and select with this selection. The Raiders will have to too decide on players and coaching staff.

The thing that divides Raider Nation is who will make all these decisions. Many believe it will be the Raiders’ new minority owner, Tom Brady. Raider fans seem divided on whether Brady belongs on the Raiders.

It goes back to the “Tuck Rule” game in which Brady starred as the quarterback of the New England Patriots, an organization that Raider fans consider a nemesis.

Our Hondo Carpenter recently spoke on an episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast about how Raiders minority owner Tom Brady needs to be careful with Raider Nation.

“I was at the NFL owners meeting and someone dropped something in my ear… They were talking about Tom Brady and his need to be careful,” Carpenter said. “He said Raider fans hate the Patriots. They hate them because of the ‘Tuck Rule.’ He said if I’m Tom Brady and I don’t move there to run it day in and day out…would you pick a rookie quarterback and change a head coach? Because if you’re wrong on both counts, the fans will be upset with you (Brady). You may be an owner, but if the fanbase hates you, you’re in a world of pain. Or does he play it slowly?
