Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback destined for the Hall of Fame, has officially joined the Las Vegas Raiders’ ownership group.

After a lengthy approval process due to potential conflicts with his FOX broadcasting role, Brady has secured a 10% stake in the franchise.

This move has ignited excitement among fans, who are eager to see how the seven-time Super Bowl champion might shape the team’s future.

Rich Gannon, a former NFL quarterback turned analyst, believes the Raiders have made a smart decision in bringing Brady on board.

Gannon, who won the league MVP with the Raiders in 2002, sees immense value in Brady’s wealth of knowledge and experience. He remarked on SiriusXM NFL Radio:

“He definitely brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. He comes from an organization that, for the better part of two decades dominated the landscape of the NFL. You know he’s won multiple Super Bowls and has some great influence in his life including Bill Belichick.”

Gannon suggests that Brady’s insights into team culture, player development, and overall organizational success could prove invaluable for Mark Davis and the Raiders’ front office.

This injection of championship pedigree could help the franchise establish itself as a genuine contender in the coming years.

However, Brady’s new role comes with some restrictions. As the lead color commentator for Fox’s major NFL games, he won’t have access to team facilities, players, or coaches, nor will he attend pregame production meetings.

Despite these limitations, the Raiders’ future looks brighter than ever with the GOAT now part of their ownership team.
