Overview
- Las Vegas sits 2-10 and already out of playoff contention.
- The Athletic reports Brady has been rarely on site, leaning on wellness coordinator Alex Guerrero as his "eyes and ears" while staying in daily contact with decision-makers.
- Expected pursuits of Mike Vrabel or Ben Johnson did not materialize, Pete Carroll was hired at 74, and league and internal voices now question his short-term job security.
- Hoped-for moves at quarterback such as Matthew Stafford did not happen, Brady was reportedly against targeting Sam Darnold, and trade acquisition Geno Smith has 2,532 yards, 15 TDs and a league-high 14 INTs.
- Brady was a key advocate for offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who was fired after 11 games, as a player told The Athletic the team lacks a clear plan and reporting points to an offseason reset, potentially including a quarterback decision.
