Brady intends to fulfill his contract with Fox as a broadcaster despite becoming more involved with the Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders coaching search has become a big topic for the football media. After the firings of Tom Telesco and Antonio Pierce, the Raiders were not expected to attract the attention of top candidates for the job.
