Tom Brady puts Raiders on notice after 3-14 season, demands improvement
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Las Vegas Raiders have had a disappointing few years.
The Raiders have not had a winning season nor have they made the playoffs since 2021. The team failed to win more than eight games during that stretch, which culminated in a 3-14 season in 2025. Last year’s failure landed them the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft.

Tom Brady, the Raiders’ minority owner and FOX’s lead color commentator, spotlighted the organization in a recent interview on the “Stick to Football” podcast.
“I expect a lot of improvement since then. We underperformed in every area last year.” he said. “And it’s everyone’s fault. That’s the truth.
“There’s no one doing their job well. There’s not one player in the organization, there’s no one doing the job at the level that it needs to be done. And everyone has to improve. And that starts with me and it carries over to the other players on the field and they have to go there and ultimately they have to perform at a high level.”

Brady said he expects a “huge improvement” in every area as the team renews its entire personnel, from the sidelines to those who play on the field.
He added that with more repetitions on the field, a good team should be better from the beginning to the end of the year.
The team hired Klint Kubiak, who helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl title, as the new head coach in the offseason.
The Raiders selected quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the top pick and signed Kirk Cousins to increase competition at the position. The team also signed Tyler Linderbaum, Quay Walker, Kwity Payne, Connor Heyward and Jalen Nailor, among others.
