Mark Davis welcomes Tom Brady to the Las Vegas Raiders organization

Las Vegas Raiders Welcome Tom Brady Aboard: Next Stop, A Quarterback

Tuesday was a news-packed day for the Las Vegas Raiders. On top of trading superstar wideout Davante Adams to the New York Jets, NFL owners unanimously approved a sale of 10.5% ownership stake of the Silver and Black to Tom Brady (5%), Tom Wagner (5%), and former Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour (.5%).

And now, with Tom Brady officially onboard, it’s time for Las Vegas to find their signal caller.

Mark Davis expressed his excitement in having Brady help search for Sin City’s next franchise quarterback. “I think [Brady] can help us select a quarterback in the future and potentially train him as well,” Davis noted when addressing the addition of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Although the exact details of Brady’s role with the team remain uncertain, Mark Davis made it clear that his deal with the three-time MVP isn’t just for the sake of money.

“The transactions that we’re doing aren’t based on just getting money,” Davis explained. “It’s bringing value to the franchise – which is even more important.”

As things stand, the Raiders sit with a 2-4 record heading into Week 7. They tie with five other teams for the seventh-worst record across the NFL. Davis hopes that Brady’s involvement, along with Wagner’s and Seymour’s, will help turn things around in the near future.

Tom Brady faces restrictions after becoming partial owner of Las Vegas Raiders

While Brady’s minority ownership of the Raiders was unanimously approved, it didn’t come without restrictions.

As a partial team owner, Brady can no longer: be in another team’s facility, witness other team’s practicing, attend broadcast meetings (both in-person and virtual), and criticize any of the other 31 clubs or officials.

Brady accepted a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox to be the company’s lead analyst upon retiring from football.

Now that the future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer has become a partial NFL owner, he is no longer permitted to play in the National Football League.
