Tom Brady has bought a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders from owner Mark Davis Albert Breer at quarterback on Monday morning.
The sale has been agreed and submitted to the NFL for approval, which could take some time. There are no plans to tackle sales at the spring meeting, Breer reports.
The size and cost of Brady’s interest have not been disclosed. Team and league spokesmen did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for confirmation.
Brady has already invested in another team from Davis: the WNBA’s Aces.
The news comes as Brady prepares to launch a broadcasting career by analyzing the NFL for Fox Sports. Appearing on FS1 in February, the recently retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback told Colin Cowherd that he will wait until the fall of 2024 to transition to the stand. Brady also continues to serve as spokesperson, having recently appeared in a new commercial for Hertz.

Raiders fans might argue that Brady has always owned the team, dating back to the infamous “Tuck Rule” playoff game in January 2002.
It was the untested starting quarterback’s first playoff game, and he didn’t play particularly well. Brady completed 32 of 52 passes in a snowy Foxborough Stadium, failed to throw for a touchdown and was even intercepted.
However, it could have been worse.
With the Patriots down 13-10 in the final moments of the game, Brady was fired by his former Michigan teammate, Raiders defenseman Charles Woodson. The ball was lost and Oakland recovered, seemingly ending the Patriots’ chances of winning.
However, much to Raiders Nation’s dismay, the fumble was overturned on repeat due to the Tuck rule. Referee Walt Coleman ruled that Brady’s arm moved forward as the ball was lost, turning a fumble and costly turnover into an incomplete pass.
With new life, Brady led the Patriots offense deeper into Raiders territory, where Adam Vinatieri kicked the tying field goal.
The Patriots would win in overtime to capture their first of six Lombardi trophies with Brady at center.
Brady would go on to make six appearances against the Raiders in the regular season, posting a 5-1 record against the Oakland-Las Vegas franchise.
