Tom Brady can’t stay away from football. According to reports in the American media, the former quarterback of the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers has invested in the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/nfl-raiders-defeated-chargers-in-final-play-in-overtime/" title="NFL: Raiders defeated Chargers in final play in overtime”>Las Vegas Raiders by purchasing a share of the NFL franchise. He will own 5% of the team.
“I am incredibly honored and excited to have received unanimous approval to become an owner of the Las Vegas Raiders,” Brady wrote in a social media post. “I look forward to contributing in any way I can and honoring the rich tradition of the Raiders.”
The news of the purchase was leaked almost a year and a half ago, however to be made official it required the approval of at least three quarters of the team’s owners. The conflict of interest for Brady’s role as a sports commentator for Fox also weighed on the delay.
According to the agreements, the former player will not be able to participate in person or remotely in production meetings for broadcasting and will not have access to the team’s facilities.
Furthermore, he will not be able to publicly criticize other teams or managers, but will instead be able to broadcast Raiders games.
