Update on Former Buccaneer QB Tom Brady's Pursuit in Minority Ownership With Raiders
Tom Brady's bid for a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders has hit a few roadblocks, but things are steadily looking up for the GOAT.
Tom Brady is football's GOAT on the field (most people think so, anyway), but he's looking to venture into business off the field, too. That involves potentially owning a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, and while that deal hasn't gone through yet, it may be making some progress.
While it was previously reported that Brady's bid to buy a stake in the Raiders had hit a bit of a snag, he got some encouraging words from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the league meetings in Orlando. Goodell was asked by reporters about Brady's bid, and he said that while the process is extensive, it's moving along.
"I wouldn’t say it’s a delay,” Goodell said, per the Associated Press. “We go through a thorough process... I think it’s making progress.”
That's good news for Brady, who reportedly has a few obstacles standing in the way of his bid. Some owners have taken issue with Mark Davis potentially giving Brady a discount for percentage of the team he is seeking, thus potentially devaluing their own shares — additionally, Brady is set to commentate for FOX starting next year, and issues with a conflict of interest have arisen as well given that he could be calling Raiders games.
Either way, it seems Brady's bid is looking good as the process continues. It's been a long one, though, as he started it in May of last year.
