NFL executives view the Las Vegas Raiders as a "floundering franchise," struggling with frequent coaching changes and a poor recent record. The team finished the 2024 season with a 4-13 record and has not made the playoffs since 2021. New minority owner Tom Brady is seen as a potential stabilizing force. His credibility may attract coaching candidates, such as Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, as the Raiders seek to improve their performance. The Raiders hold the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite recent challenges, the franchise has a strong legacy and a new stadium, which could aid in their efforts to regain relevance in the league.
