Tom Brady Set to Join Las Vegas Raiders as Minority Owner.
Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has announced his upcoming venture into team ownership. Recently retired and with an impressive collection of seven Super Bowl victories, Brady is poised to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, pending approval from the NFL. This move marks an exciting milestone in both Brady's career and the history of the National Football League.
The announcement was made by Mark Davis, the principal owner of the Raiders, who expressed his enthusiasm about Brady's involvement with the team. According to Davis, Brady's addition to the ownership group will make him only the third player in NFL history to hold such a position. The two previous players-turned-owners were George Halas and Jerry Richardson, adding further prestige to Brady's upcoming role.
Interestingly, this partnership between Brady and Davis extends beyond the NFL. They already share a business relationship through their involvement with the Las Vegas Aces, a team in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Davis is the majority owner of the Aces, while Brady has a stake in the club. This collaboration demonstrates the diverse interests and investments of these two influential sports figures.
In addition to his potential ownership role with the Raiders, Brady has recently secured a lucrative 10-year, $375 million broadcasting contract with Fox Sports, set to begin in 2024. This deal further solidifies his continued presence in the world of football, albeit in a different capacity.
