The Raiders have added an experienced executive to their front office. The team announced on Monday that Anthony Patch has been hired under the title of senior personnel executive. 
Patch’s time in the NFL began with the Dolphins in 2001. The majority of his career has taken place in Philadelphia. however. He held several titles during a 23-year run in the organization, including senior director of college scouting dating back to 2016.
As a result, Patch represented a key member of the Eagles’ front office with respect to the NFL draft. The team has established itself as a one of the league’s best at finding high-end rookies, many of whom have played a key role in Philadelphia’s two Super Bowl victories. General manager Howie Roseman and Co. will now need to find or promote a replacement to play a leading role in draft preparation.
For new Raiders general manager John Spytek, meanwhile, Patch will represent a familiar face. The pair worked together as scouts in Philadelphia from 2005-09 (h/t Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer). This reunion will see them each take on significant responsibilities in Vegas as the team looks to reach contender status over the long term.
Spytek, along with new head coach Pete Carroll and minority owner Tom Brady, oversaw the Raiders’ 2025 draft. That process was soon followed up by the hiring of Brian Stark as assistant general manager. The team has now made another notable move in the front office which could pay dividends for years to come.
