Following the conclusion of their 2023 season, the Las Vegas Raiders appointed Tom Telesco as their latest general manager.

Having spent a decade with the Los Angeles Chargers, Telesco was entrusted with lifting the Raiders out of their predicament. He embarked on a strategy of astute signings in free agency, aimed at revitalizing the team’s roster while ensuring equitable compensation for player services.
Telesco’s moves included acquiring defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and making discerning decisions regarding which free agents to retain and which to release, demonstrating a keen understanding of the Raiders’ organizational challenges.
During the offseason, there were numerous suggestions for the Raiders to make high-profile signings across various positions, most of which Telesco wisely avoided.
