The Raiders are hiring Mark Thewes as their new vice president of football operations and strategy, the team announced Tuesday.
Thewes has spent the past 16 years in the Broncos front office. He was originally hired by former Denver coach Josh McDaniels, who also coached the Raiders from 2022-23, in 2009. Thewes remained with the Broncos after McDaniels was fired in 2010 and survived numerous regime changes.
Now, he will serve as a key member of new general manager John Spytek’s front office.
