The 3-time Super Bowl-winning Richard Seymour is coming back to the team that he retired in 2009 but this time as an owner. Additionally, Tom Brady will meet him there since he’s already a minority stake owner of the Raiders, a deal that is yet to be made official.

Richard Seymour, the the former defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders has quite the legacy in the NFL. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2001 and went on to win 3 Super Bowls with them before leaving the team in 2009. Though he retired as a Raider in 2012, the majority of his success came from his run with the Patriots. Now, he will be joining the most successful Pats’ star, Tom Brady, as the pair will combine their experiences of a total of 10 rings and potentially take the Raiders to the same heights as the Patriots someday.

Richard Seymour and Tom Brady will both be Raiders owners

On 9th July, MLFootball announced that Richard Seymour was on his way to becoming an owner and being in close ties with the Las Vegas Raiders. This would mean that both the Patriots’ stars, Seymour and Brady, would be joining forces in order to ensure the overall success of the Raiders together.

As per the tweet, “Hall of Fame DL Richard Seymour is nearing a deal to become an owner and limited partner of the Las Vegas #Raiders, according to NBC.” Seymour with his net worth of $25 million and Brady with his staggering worth of $350 million are set to add more money to these giant figures as the Raiders look to be under new leadership of renowned and experienced players of the game. While the teaming up of Seymour and Brady is set to be a dream for the Raiders’ fans, the fact that Brady’s ownership deal isn’t confirmed yet is a red flag.

Tom Brady faces a roadblock over his Raiders deal

Back in May, it was revealed that the NFL owners held yet another round of meetings to finalize the deal between Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders but there is yet an official confirmation to be made from Raiders owner Mark Davis. It is reported that Brady and his group are seeking to own 10% of the $6.2 billion franchise, out of which Brady’s investment alone will give him 7% of that share. Despite being an owner of the city’s WNBA team, the Las Vegas Aces, Brady’s deal with the Raiders just isn’t making a touchdown.

Further reports suggest that the financial committee did not accept the proposed deal in May and continues to be dragged out. In light of all the delays amid public excitement, this is what Mark Davis himself had to say about the situation. The Raiders owner said, “It’s alive, but I’m not going to comment anymore. I’m going to leave it at that for now.” Thus, these signs don’t seem too good for the direction that Brady plans to take this deal in since more and more obstacles keep popping up while Seymour’s addition to the team as owner seems to be going smoothly.
