The Las Vegas Raiders hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager John Spytek to be their GM, a person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press.

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.

The Las Vegas Raiders don't yet have a new head coach. They do, however, have a new leader for their front office, on Wednesday finalizing a deal to hire John Spytek, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' assistant general manager,

Brady, who acquired a minority stake in the Raiders last year, has been helping the franchise find both a new general manager and head coach in recent weeks.
