Despite having other opportunities elsewhere, Patrick Graham is returning to the Las Vegas Raiders to remain their defensive coordinator on Pete Carroll's first staff. Once again, it shows Tom Brady's power and influence over this AFC West franchise.

We are excited about the opportunity to play in Las Vegas,” head coach T.C. Taylor said. “This is a chance for our players to play in a world-class stadium in front of a national audience. I can’t wait to see Tiger Nation show up in Vegas for the game.

Tom Brady, former quarterback and new part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, is reshaping the franchise with experienced hires. He appointed Pete Carroll as head coach, John Spytek as general manager, and retained Patrick Graham as the defensive coordinator.
