Seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady has been approved by NFL ownership as a limited partner of the Las Vegas Raiders, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday.
Brady and his partner now hold 10% in the Raiders with Brady personally holding a 5% stake.
Tuesday’s vote ended a long-running saga for Brady’s bid to enter ownership. It was first reported in May 2023 that Brady was working toward acquiring a minority stake in Raiders.
Brady’s effort to purchase part of the Raiders was delayed, in part, by questions surrounding the evaluation of the percentage to be sold to him and Brady’s role as a FOX Sports broadcaster.
The NFL in August placed restrictions on Brady’s broadcasting access due to his potential involvement with the Raiders.
Brady is not permitted to attend in-person or online broadcast production meetings and may not have access to team facilities, players or coaches. FOX staff is not subject to these limitations.
He also must abide by the league constitution and bylaws that prohibit public criticism of officials and other clubs, but is allowed to broadcast Raiders games.
Brady, who retired from the NFL following the 2022 season, is working with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt on FOX’s top NFL broadcasting team. He signed a 10-year deal with the network in 2022, but this is Brady’s first season announcing games.
