The only thing missing was approval from the rest of the NFL owners for Tom Brady A new stage in American football began and it has already arrived. Thanks to the unanimous vote of these, the legendary former player will become a shareholder of the franchise. Las Vegas Raiders.
Brady’s offer was on the agenda for the NFL’s fall league meeting in Atlanta, where he only needed 24 of the league’s 32 owners to vote in favor. Finally, the NFL vote, held this past Tuesday, was 32-0, a result for which the Californian said he felt “incredibly honored and excited.”
“Throughout my NFL career I have learned that, at its core, American football is a sport of teamwork, resilience and a tireless pursuit of excellence,” he explained. “The Raiders franchise and the city of Las Vegas embody these same values, and I am honored to be a part of that history.”
«Football has been a part of my entire life growing up in the Bay Area and, in many ways, my life and my football journey have come full circle. I love this sport, I love my teammates, coaches and the fans of every organization I have been a part of. Sports bring us together in a way that nothing else can. I grew up on the field and it is a blessing to know that I will be involved in the best league in the world for the rest of my life».
«I am deeply grateful, humbled and honored, to become an owner of an NFL team. This is my life’s mission and I accept it with purpose and pride. With great opportunity comes great responsibility,” he added.
Brady and the co-founder of ‘Knighthead Capital Management’, Tom Wagner, agreed in May 2023 to buy approximately 10 percent of the Raiders from their main owner, a percentage of which the legendary player, who is also part of the ownership group of Las The WNBA’s Vegas Aces will personally own 5 percent.
The NFL limits his commentating privileges
There were multiple problems along the way and the issue was discussed behind closed doors at previous league meetings. Brady is in the first year of a 10-year, $375 million contract to be an analyst on the Fox television network.. Some owners were concerned that a co-owner of a franchise would gain access and knowledge of other teams’ coaches, staff, players, and game plans.
In response, the NFL limited Brady’s access relative to what other analysts are allowed. He is not allowed to attend some production meetings and cannot visit team headquarters or attend training.
Brady’s work as a commentator could be affected by this new facet of his career in that he will not be allowed to publicly criticize referees or other clubs. Doing so at a level considered excessive could result in a fine or suspension.
