Will they be on the same page on quarterback decision?
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis confirmed many reports last week when he said new team minority owner Tom Brady will have a key role in some decisions-making roles, particularly when it comes to help picking the team’s next quarterback.
Over the weekend, NFL Media reported Brady could help oversea the football operations.

The begs the question: Will Brady have more football-decision making power over general manager Tom Telesco, who was hired to have the top football decision-making roll? Last week, Davis said Telesco will be evaluated after this disappointing season. But Davis was complimentary of Telesco, perhaps hinting he is safe.
He even said reporters should ask Telesco about the 20-25 rookie quarterback class. But with Brady also have a big role in making that decision. The key is Telesco and Brady being on the same page in their quarterback plan and that will be a key to the upcoming offseason.
