Brady urges Raiders to improve after 3-14 season

Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, has issued a blunt assessment of the franchise, stating that accountability for its recent failures must be shared by everyone in the organization, including himself. Brady made the comments in a recent interview on the "Stick to Football" podcast, emphasizing that he expects a massive improvement from a team that finished the 2025 season with a 3-14 record.

Brady refused to set a specific win total for the upcoming 2026 season, instead focusing on a culture of daily progress. He said the Raiders underperformed in every area last year and that no one associated with the team did a good enough job. He stressed that improvement must be visible from the top down, starting with his own role.

The Raiders have undergone significant changes this offseason in an attempt to reverse their fortunes. The team hired Klint Kubiak as its new head coach after he helped guide the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl title. They also used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to select quarterback Fernando Mendoza and signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to provide stability at the position.
