Tom Brady is accredited as part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders

Tom Brady‘s long-awaited bid to become a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders has finally been approved.

The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback initially agreed to become a limited partner of the Raiders back in May 2023, a few months after calling time on his legendary playing career.

His deal to take a 10 percent stake in the team – which he is splitting down the middle with business partner Tom Wagner – was held up over the last 17 months amid concerns from other NFL owners regarding his quoted price and new role as an analyst for Fox Sports.

Yet according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, this week Brady has been granted official approval by his now co-owners in the league.

The 47-year-old’s minority stake in Las Vegas also confirms the end of his playing career, given active players are prevented from investing in or owning NFL teams by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Despite hanging up his cleats over 18 months ago, he has been frequently linked with a return to the field, most recently with the Miami Dolphins.
