NFL legend and part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Tom Brady, has allegedly made his negative stance on rookie running back Ashton Jeanty increasingly clear behind the scenes—sending ripples through the Raiders organization. At the same time, veteran RB Raheem Mostert is stoking speculation about a possible exit, hinting that his time with the Raiders may soon be coming to an end.
🔥 Brady “Not Sold” on Jeanty
According to sources close to the team, Brady has expressed frustration with the team’s decision to draft Jeanty, who was selected in the 3rd round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Jeanty, a standout at Boise State, entered the league with a reputation for dynamic playmaking and versatility. However, insiders claim that Brady has questioned Jeanty’s work ethic, football IQ, and readiness for the pro level, reportedly labeling the pick as “a reach.”
One team source noted:
“Brady’s not impressed. He doesn’t see Jeanty as someone who can step up in a pressure moment, and he’s made that known.”
With Brady increasingly involved in personnel discussions as part of his ownership role, his comments could have significant influence on Jeanty’s development and playing time.
🌀 Raheem Mostert Drops Cryptic Message
As tension brews around the rookie, veteran RB Raheem Mostert added fuel to the fire this week with a cryptic social media post:
“Sometimes you’ve got to know when to move on. Loyalty only goes one way in this business.”
The post, coupled with rumors of behind-the-scenes disagreements over his usage and contract structure, has led many to believe Mostert may be preparing to part ways with the team. Mostert, 33, was expected to serve as a mentor and rotational weapon in a revamped backfield, but Brady’s cool reception toward the younger talent may have left Mostert questioning his role in the team’s long-term vision.
🧩 A Backfield in Flux
If Mostert leaves and Brady continues to oppose Jeanty’s rise, the Raiders could be looking at a major shake-up in their running back room before the season even begins. This adds to the already complicated dynamic between head coach Antonio Pierce, GM Tom Telesco, and the Brady-led ownership.
🚨 What It Means Going Forward
•Ashton Jeanty may have to fight for every snap, despite high expectations.
•Raheem Mostert’s veteran leadership may be gone before training camp.
•Tom Brady’s influence on personnel decisions is no longer subtle—it’s shaping the roster in real time.
Expect more developments from Las Vegas as the team prepares for what’s shaping up to be a drama-filled preseason.
