What an odd end to the season for the Las Vegas Raiders. At one point, they were front-runners to land the number-one overall pick before winning two of their last three games, pushing themselves likely out of range for one of the top quarterbacks.

Telesco, who was hired in January 2024, appeared to be safe after the Raiders announced they were firing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday. However, Telesco would join Pierce two days later as the Raiders—under some influence of minority owner Tom Brady—decided to do a drastic overhaul at the top.
