Russell Wilson could buy time for Tom Brady, Pete Carroll and Raiders while they figure out Vegas' QB of the future

Finally, the connective tissue of a Las Vegas Raiders plan is starting to reveal itself. And you can see Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay experience in the fibers of it.

The Raiders have hired John Spytek as their general manager. Spytek’s football life intersected with Brady twice: First when they played college football together at Michigan, and when Spytek was in the Buccaneers’ front office. The man Spytek worked for in Tampa — general manager Jason Licht — was a member of the New England Patriots' scouting staff and then later the front office during a portion of Brady’s run with that franchise.
