Tom Brady’s own?rship stak? in th? Las V?gas Raid?rs is r?port?dly b?tw??n 5% and 10%, but th?r? ar? issu?s with th? discount?d pric? off?r?d by Mark Davis, th? t?am’s own?r. Davis is said to be proposing a significant 70% discount to bring Brady into th? own?rship group. Brady int?nds to play a passiv? role as a Raid?rs own?r and has alr?ady b??n approv?d as a part-own?r of th? Las V?gas Ac?s, a WNBA franchis? own?d by Davis. How?v?r, his own?rship shar? of th? Raid?rs r?quir?s approval from 24 oth?r NFL t?am own?rs, which is not ?xp?ct?d to happen during th? upcoming m??tings from Octob?r 17-18.
However, NFL officials and th? l?agu?’s financ? committ?? ar? r?port?dly supportiv? of Tom Brady’s own?rship agr??m?nt with th? Raid?rs, und?rstanding th? app?al of his continu?d involv?m?nt in th? NFL world. Nonetheless, th?r?’s a potential obstacl? to Brady’s own?rship stak? approval. D?spit? his plans to b?com? a FOX analyst in 2024 through a 10-y?ar, $375 million contract, h? initially d?lay?d th? transition by a y?ar to tak? som? tim? off aft?r r?tiring as a play?r. Th? financ? committ??, how?v?r, do?s not s??m inclin?d to approv? Brady’s own?rship stak? at th? pric? pr?viously m?ntion?d.

Consid?ring Tom Brady’s imm?ns? popularity, it’s worth noting that th?r? ar? quit? a f?w “no” vot?s in plac?, which rais?s ?y?brows. Whil? th? sp?cific r?asons for th? d?al’s d?lay r?main undisclos?d, it is important to r?m?mb?r that Brady’s agr??m?nt to b?com? a part-own?r of th? Raid?rs cam? shortly aft?r th? NFL p?naliz?d th? Miami Dolphins h?avily, stripping th?m of a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick in a tamp?ring scandal.
This scandal involved th? Dolphins ?y?ing the seven-time Super Bowl champion as a potential own?r(or player) and S?an Payton as h?ad coach, a plan that r?quir?d full own?rship approval. It is a prosp?ct that s??m?d unlik?ly giv?n Brady’s impact on oth?r t?ams. Additionally, th? id?a of Brady s?rving as the own?r for th? Raid?rs, which has b??n r?j?ct?d multipl? tim?s, would r?quir? approximately thirty-one “y?s” vot?s and is similarly s??n as improbabl? at the same time.

Th? n?xt round of m??tings is s?t for D?c?mb?r 12-13. Whil? r?tir?d, Brady stays ?ngag?d with football, ?v?n m?ntoring Colorado Buffalo?s’ QB Sh?d?ur Sand?rs.
