The fate of Tom Brady’s Raiders stake comes into focus

The fate of Tom Brady’s Raiders stake comes into focus

As Tom Brady begins his highly anticipated first season as a Fox analyst on Sunday, the seven-time Super Bowl winner is also moving closer to completing a limited ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

Brady’s offer to own 10 percent of the team “is on the path to approval,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday, and is expected to be completed “by the end of the 2024 season.”

After taking a break last year following the conclusion of his 23-year playing career with the Patriots and Buccaneers, Brady, 47, will make his commentary debut on Sunday when the Cowboys and Browns meet in Week 1 of the regular season.

Approval of Brady becoming a limited partner in the Raiders could be voted on by league owners “as early as October,” NFL Network reported, but approval could also be held off until the league’s employee seminar and special meeting in December.

The matter is currently under review by the NFL Finance Committee.

Brady had originally hoped to receive approval in May of last year, but the finance committee decided that the market valuation of the franchise would require an increase in his investment.

In March, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league “goes through a very thorough process on all initial transfers,” but added that the process was “evolving.”

If the process comes to a vote on ownership, Brady must receive 75 percent of the vote to be approved.

Concerns about Brady’s role as moderator and possible conflicts of interest were also raised, the report said.

As a limited partner, he is prohibited from entering other teams’ facilities to watch training or attend production meetings.

Brady is also prohibited from publicly criticizing officials and could face fines if he goes too far in his analysis of the matter.
