The Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce this week after a 4-13 season, his first full season on the job. Two days later, they let go of general manager Tom Telesco after the first year.

It has been reported that Tom Brady, who acquired a 5% stake in the franchise last year, will be instrumental in the selection of the next head coach. And it’s no secret that Brady and Sanders have a relationship.

The Raiders are also in need at quarterback, and Sanders’ son, Schedeur, is considered one of the top two QBs in the class. Some mock drafts have him going No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans.

But Coach Prime recently said there are teams in the league he won’t let Scheder play for.
