Raiders

Former Raiders and Patriots’ new OT Trent Brown said that playing for Las Vegas was not a good fit for him. 

“I wasn’t really feeling the place of work, I guess you could say,” Brown said, via Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Brown said he has “no hard feelings” with the Raiders’ organization but reiterated that he wanted to re-sign with the Patriots after a difficult time with Las Vegas. 

“No hard feelings to them or anything, but I guess you could just say it wasn’t a good fit,” Brown said. “And I felt like I wanted to be back somewhere where I’ve worn a lot of jerseys in my life, but I’ve never been more proud than when I put on the Patriots jersey.”

• Raiders’ new WR Willie Snead compared HC Jon Gruden‘s offense to what he played under at the Saints from 2014-2017. (Jerry McDonald)
• Snead mentioned that he’ll learn to play all three receiver positions for the Raiders and feels he can bring a “winning attitude” alongside new WR John Brown. 
• Snead believes his experience in “big game” situations will help him “change the culture” around Las Vegas: “[I have] been a part of a lot of big game and I know what it takes to win.” (Vic Tafur)
