Well, well, well — looks like the NFL rumor mill is working overtime again. This time, it’s about Ben Johnson possibly heading to the Las Vegas Raiders. The chatter kicked off after an NFL insider dropped a report that seemed to make way too much sense.
But the real question is, does this move fit the Raiders’ playbook, or is it just another offseason curveball? Either way, fans are all-in, and the heat is on.
Ben Johnson to the Raiders? Fans Divided on Potential Move
The NFL rumor mill is buzzing with excitement after reports surfaced that the Raiders are making a serious push to land Ben Johnson. Fans are quick to react, and as always, emotions are running high.
“They’re not making a push. They’ve already hired him. It will be announced tomorrow,” another fan teased, hinting at an impending deal and fueling the fire of speculation.

Meanwhile, some are confident Johnson’s future lies in Vegas: “Johnson likely locked and loaded in Las Vegas.” Could this be the fresh start the Raiders need, or are fans overhyping the move?
But not everyone’s sold on the Raiders’ appeal. “What’s the appeal of the Raiders job?” one fan asked, pointing out the tough road ahead with divisional rivals like Patrick Mahomes.
“With no QB, good luck,” said another, casting doubt on the Raiders’ QB situation, which still remains one of the NFL’s most glaring question marks.
On the flip side, some are excited by the thought of the Raiders making a legitimate push for improvement. “At least a team trying to improve,” one fan said, taking a jab at Jerry Jones and his controversial decisions with the Dallas Cowboys.
One thing’s for sure: no matter where Johnson lands, the drama will keep building.
Tom Brady Weighs in on Raiders’ Coaching Search
Tom Brady has spoken up, and his take on the head coach search is making waves. Among the candidates reportedly being considered, Johnson and Aaron Glenn, both coordinators, have been in the spotlight.
Brady, a play-by-play analyst for Fox and minority owner for the Raiders, was calling a game in which both coaches worked. In the midst of a surprising 45-31 defeat for the Detroit Lions, Brady shared his thoughts on the future of coaching in the NFL.
“It’s just been a great learning experience,” Brady said. “What you realize is the league’s full of great potential — and what I believe is, the résumés, the accolades, they’re all earned by what people do on the field. You earn your opportunities, and you do your performance, and let that all do the talking — just as it should be, and as I did when I was a player.”
Brady’s message is clear: it’s all about performance. In a league full of big names, it’s what you do on the field that truly earns respect. As the Raiders consider Johnson among their head coach candidates, it’s clear that this is a pivotal moment for the franchise.
