Tom Brady Nears Approval as Minority Owner of Las Vegas Raiders
NFL owners are expected to approve Brady's bid for a 10% stake in the Raiders at the upcoming league meeting.
- Brady's ownership bid requires approval from 24 of 32 NFL team owners, which is anticipated to be a formality following the finance committee's unanimous recommendation.
- The proposed deal, initially agreed upon in May 2023, was revised to address concerns over the team's valuation being too low.
- Brady's acquisition would make him one of the few former NFL players to own a team stake, joining figures like George Halas and Jerry Richardson.
- His role as a minority owner could impose restrictions on his broadcasting career with FOX Sports, limiting his access to team facilities and meetings.
- The Raiders have been under Davis family ownership since 1966, and the sale would slightly reduce their share while keeping them as principal owners.
