Tom Brady has been committed to reviving the Las Vegas Raiders since becoming a partial owner in 2024. He has already had a significant impact on the team’s football operations, and things are quickly looking far brighter for the AFC West franchise.
This week, Brady made another hire in the front office, adding more Super Bowl experience to a budding staff.
Tom Brady Adds a 2-Time Super Bowl Champion to the Front Office
Brady’s search for greatness with the Las Vegas Raiders continued this week, with a new senior personnel executive.
Anthony Patch has been a long-term member of the Philadelphia Eagles front office, working with the franchise through both of their Super Bowl titles in recent years.
Patch was originally hired by the Eagles in 2002 as a college scouting coordinator. From 2003 to 2009, he held a role as a West Coast area scout before being promoted to the assistant director of college scouting.
He has since worked his way up to a lead role as the senior director of college scouting for the Eagles, serving as Howie Roseman’s right-hand man.
Roseman has been one of the most successful general managers in the NFL in recent years, but he’ll now be without one of his most valued members of staff. Patch will immediately assume a role as a senior personnel executive in Las Vegas, supporting GM John Spytek in the rebuild of the Raiders roster.
A report in the Review Journal read: “The Raiders continued to remake their front office Monday, hiring Anthony Patch as a senior personnel executive.
“Patch has been with the Eagles since 2002 and has won two Super Bowls with the organization. He was most recently the club’s senior director of college scouting.”
Patch has worked with Spytek before, with both men working as scouts for the Eagles in the late 2000s. Spytek then moved on to various roles with the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos, before settling with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016.
He was the director of player personnel for the Bucs for several years before being promoted to vice president of player personnel in 2021. He last served as the assistant general manager to Jason Licht in Tampa Bay before he was hired by the Raiders.
Brady’s Winning Formula
Spytek was a popular candidate for multiple GM jobs in 2025, having also interviewed with the Tennessee Titans.
Brady knew him well, and when the Raiders conducted their interview for the role in Las Vegas, it was Brady himself asking a lot of the questions.
The two have known each other since they were teammates at Michigan, all the way through to Spytek’s involvement in the front office when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hooked Brady as a free agent in 2020.
Brady has largely left the front office to control the roster, but he did come in for a few days to help scout the quarterbacks. Coach Pete Carroll was a firm advocate for the Geno Smith acquisition, having worked with him originally in Seattle, but Brady also liked the idea.
The Las Vegas Raiders have been heavily praised for their draft picks, and with Brady’s oversight and passion for the game, the fan base feels more excited about the future of the team than they have for a long time.
