Two days after relieving Antonio Pierce of his head coaching duties, the Las Vegas Raiders have fire General Manager Tom Telesco. Telesco had been with the Raiders for about one calendar year.

Telesco served one draft cycle for the Raiders and orchestrated one of the best drafts the team has seen in it’s history. While not being able to add a quarterback in the early rounds, Telesco drafted TE Brock Bowers who set all-time rookie records for receptions and TE receiving yards. He also added Jackson Powers-Johnson and DJ Glaze to the offensive line, both being good enough to earn major roles, and CB Decamerion Richardson who played very well in a limited capacity.

While he had a good draft, the rest of Telesco’s tenure was fraught with failure. The hiring of OC Luke Getsy stands out as a terrible move, hand-in-hand with the signing of quarterback Gardner Minshew and making him the starter to begin the season.

The Raiders will, likely, now hire a GM who will make the head coaching decision. These moves will have no effect on the fantasy prospects of Brock Bowers or Jakobi Meyers in 2025, and both remain imminently rosterable, with Bowers being the likely TE1 in all formats
