dropped an intriguing nugget<\/a> regarding the right-hand man of Raiders minority owner Tom Brady: Crosby, and others, aren\u2019t thrilled with the role of Brady\u2019s TB12 svengali.<\/p>\n\u201cLike many players and coaches, Crosby was frustrated by the presence of Alex Guerrero, a staunch Brady ally whose official title is wellness coordinator,\u201d Silver writes. \u201cGuerrero, who regularly attends practices and meetings, purports to possess significant organizational power, informing players of impending transactions and even indicating to staff members who don\u2019t follow his instructions that their jobs may be at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Silver explains it, the internal perception is that Guerrero has a direct pipeline to Brady. Which makes sense, given that Brady\u2019s job with Fox keeps Brady from being around the team on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a byproduct of Brady\u2019s insistence on wearing two hats. Because he can\u2019t be all-in with the Raiders, he needs a mole. And he apparently has one.<\/p>\n
Which, as Silver notes, creates real trust issues in the building.<\/p>\n
While Crosby\u2019s reasons for wanting out extend well beyond Guerrero, it\u2019s a symptom of a deeper issue. No one can handle the full-time job of running a football operation on a part-time basis. Brady\u2019s effort to do so will make it even harder to turn around a team that has two playoff appearances and no postseason wins since 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Raiders continue to work their way through an unworkable relationship with defensive end Maxx Crosby, it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-503966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
