In a surprising turn of events, legendary quarterback Tom Brady has officially become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. The former NFL star, who retired after the 2022 season, now holds a 5% stake in the team, joining the ownership group led by Mark Davis.
Reflecting on his new venture, Brady expressed his excitement in a statement, saying, “Throughout my NFL career, I’ve learned that at its core, football is a game of teamwork, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. The Raiders’ franchise and the city of Las Vegas embody these same values, and I’m honored to be a part of that story.”
Brady’s connection to football runs deep, having grown up in the Bay Area surrounded by the sport. He emphasized his love for the game, his teammates, coaches, and the fans who have supported him throughout his illustrious career. “Sports brings us together in a way nothing else can. I grew up on the field, and it’s a blessing to know I’ll be involved in the greatest league in the world for the rest of my life,” Brady added.
Having won seven Super Bowl titles and three MVP awards during his 23-year NFL career, Brady’s legacy in the sport is unmatched. Despite transitioning to a broadcasting role with Fox Sports, where he can be heard alongside Kevin Burkhardt on game days, Brady’s influence in the football world remains strong.
In fact, Raiders owner Mark Davis has already hinted at Brady playing a role in the team’s future endeavors, particularly in the search for the franchise’s next quarterback. Davis expressed his eagerness to enlist Brady’s expertise in acquiring the right talent to lead the Raiders to success on the field.
