Tom Brady adds another line to his NFL resume — part owner of Raiders

· New York Post

Tom Brady can officially add NFL owner to his already impressive resume.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback’s stake in the Raiders as part of a group that includes Knighthead Capital co-founder Tom Wagner was approved by the league owners at their fall meetings on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Brady, 47, holds a 5 percent portion of the group’s 10 percent stake in the Las Vegas club, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The current Fox Sports NFL analyst agreed to the initial deal with Raiders owner Mark Davis in May 2023, but adjustments had to be made after the league’s financial committee believed the sale offer was at a discounted price.

Brady, who retired from the field in 2023, is not permitted to play in the league while being a team owner. 

He already owns a piece of Las Vegas Aces, Birmingham City soccer club, a  Major League Pickleball expansion team and an E1 Series race boat team. 

The completion of the sale will likely put severe restraints on Brady’s ability to do his day job as Fox’s top analyst sitting next to play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt.

Brady, who signed a 10-year deal with Fox Sports worth $375 million, reportedly will not be permitted to be in another team’s facility, witness practice or attend broadcast production meetings in any way.

He would also be prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams.

Sources told The Post’s Ryan Glasspiegel in August that Fox officials are not concerned “at all” by the potential restrictions.

Brady is just the third player in NFL history to become an owner, joining George Halas (Bears) and Jerry Richardson (Panthers).
