John Spytek

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders are expected to hire Bucs assistant general manager John Spytek for their general manager vacancy.

As Rapoport points out, Spytek was in the Bucs’ front office when they brought it Tom Brady and won a Super Bowl. Brady is now a part-owner of the Raiders and is heavily involved in their search for a new head coach and general manager. Spytek also had interviews with the Titans this offseason. His first order of business will be landing the aforementioned head coach. Ben Johnson was the team’s top target but took the Bears’ gig instead. With fellow Buccaneer Liam Coen deciding to stay in Tampa Bay and Lions DC Aaron Glenn likely headed for New York, the coaching pool is thinning out rather quickly, leaving the Raiders scrambling once again.
