Tom Brady is a Fox broadcaster, which prevents him from holding an official role within the Las Vegas Raiders organization. However, his influence still looms large, with his friend and trainer, Alex Guerrero, on the team’s staff.
The Raiders can reunite defensive coordinator Patrick Graham with one of his most productive players and counter their Week 1 opponent’s shrewd transaction. Raiders Daily highlights Guerrero’s role and the gamesmanship leading up to the season opener.
The Raiders have fully embraced the Tom Brady experience, with him as a consultant and his trainer, Alex Guerrero, taking on a staff position.
The Athletic’s Tashan Reed shared details on Guerrero’s role.
“Guerrero’s title — wellness coordinator — is intentionally nebulous,” Reed rote. “It gives him purview over all training staff operations, including strength and conditioning, nutrition, medical and mental health.”
It’s Guerrero’s first offseason in a formal capacity with an NFL team. So far, the Raiders feel as though he’s made a difference because they’ve been able to avoid non-contact injuries. Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his fibula after taking a hit at training camp. Aidan O’Connell fractured his wrist on a play in which an Arizona Cardinals defender strip-sacked him.
Reed highlighted one of Guerrero’s primary goals as part of the Raiders’ training staff.
“The primary focus for Guerrero is to limit non-contact, soft tissue injuries,” Reed wrote. “To do that, the Raiders have put an added emphasis on “prehab” workouts that intend to strengthen and increase the functionality of areas of the body that are particularly susceptible to injury.”
With Brady’s stamp of approval, Guerrero will work with the players to prevent injuries. When significant body issues inevitably arise in a physical game, he’s there to work with the staff to help expedite recovery.
Maybe we’ll see one of these Raiders play at a high level into their mid-40s like Brady.

On Friday, the New England Patriots made a surprise cut, releasing Jabrill Peppers. Many of their fans questioned the move:
Scheme fit blah blah blah they don’t have enough talent on this roster to be cutting good players that aren’t making big money at this stage. https://t.co/ck7WkiOR2B

The #Patriots are either creating room for a potential trade/add of a player, or something is going on behind the scenes.

Peppers could draw interest from Las Vegas. Between 2020 and 2021, he played two seasons under defensive coordinator Patrick Graham with the New York Giants. The versatile defender, who can line up in both safety positions and take on slot duties, recorded 91 tackles, eight for loss, 2.5 sacks and an interception...
