(New York, NY) — Tom Brady is one step closer to owning a part of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Reports say Brady’s purchase of a stake in the team from owner Mark Davis has been agreed to and sent to the league for approval.
The 45-year-old announced his NFL retirement in February and subsequently purchased a minority stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces in March, which is also owned by Raiders Mark Davis.
Prior to his signing with the Buccaneers in 2020, Brady was linked to the Raiders, so the move logically is sensical.
Brady is reportedly considering pulling out of his broadcasting agreement with Fox Sports and joining Mark Davis as a limited partner with the Raiders. There has also been some loose talk of Brady getting involved with the Dolphins, perhaps as a part-owner and perhaps as a player.
75 percent of NFL owners would have to approve it before it becomes final. ESPN says Brady would be a “passive” investor, with no “operational control or authority over the club in business or football matters.”
Brady announced his retirement in February, after playing 23 seasons in the NFL and winning seven Super Bowls.
