Spytek has ties to Vegas minority owner Tom Brady, having played alongside the former QB at Michigan decades before they went on to win a Super Bowl together in Tampa Bay — with Spytek as the assistant GM. He’s now the third full-time general manager in three seasons for the Raiders, who fired Tom Telesco after one year following a 4-13 season.

The Las Vegas Raiders hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager John Spytek to be their GM, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the hire has not been announced.

Spytek will be hired as the Raiders general manager, reuniting the Bucs assistant GM with Brady, who is a minority owner of the Las Vegas club but a big voice in this decision. For the past nine seasons, Spytek played a significant role in the personnel decisions, both in the draft and free agency, by Bucs general manager Jason Licht.
