Following his retirement earlier this year, the former Patriots has been transitioning into a different phase in his life.

After acquiring a stake in the WNBA just two months prior to his stake in the Raiders earlier this year, the former Bucs man is already feeling the heat of ownership following the latest reports surrounding his NFL franchise.

Should Brady be able to negotiate a minority stake in Inter Miami, it will allow him to link with Messi. This could open doors for the NFL and soccer superstars to collaborate on other ventures as well. While the Miami link-up between Messi and Brady is mere speculation of a future possibility, the QB will have his hands full at present as he leads the Raiders away from the injury raid into the new season.
