Safe to say, the short run of Tom Telesco as general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders did not produce many fond memories.
His major signing last offseason in defensive tackle Christian Wilkins endured a difficult first year in Las Vegas, with his season derailed by injuries. Other moves, such as bringing in quarterback Gardner Minshew and extending center Andre James, have already backfired to the point neither is on the roster in 2025. Finishing 4-13 on the season, the Raiders decided they had seen enough already and showed Telesco the door.
While his successor in John Spytek has some mess to clean up, Telesco did leave him with one promising aspect: his lone draft class was one to remember.
