Tuesday was a huge day for the future of the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n
It was so important, Tom Brady was in the house. The team released a photo of Brady, a part owner of the team, arriving at their Henderson, Nevada facility Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Raiders began the offseason workout program Tuesday under new coach Klint Kubiak an the team hosted expected No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza on a pre-draft visit Tuesday as well.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s significant that Brady was there, especially when it comes to Mendoza.<\/p>\n
Clearly, the plan was to have Brady spend some time with the young quarterback and that opportunity presented itself Tuesday. Both Raiders\u2019 general manager John Spytek and Kubiak have said Brady will be a big value for Mendoza and that process was evident Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Brady was with the team\u2019s brass when Mendoza led Indiana to the national championship in Miami in January. He wasn\u2019t there when the team was at Mendoza\u2019s pro day last week.<\/p>\n
Raiders\u2019 owner Mark Davis has said Brady and Spytek are running the team, but there has been other indications that Brady\u2019s role may be more of a consultant because he\u2019s not in Las Vegas much. But Tuesday he was and it\u2019s notable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tuesday was a huge day for the future of the Las Vegas Raiders.
