Former NFL quarterback and current FOX NFL analyst Tom Brady, who a five percent interest in the Las Vegas Raiders, is expected to have a heavy hand in running the Silver and Black, per Dianna Russini of De Athletics.

New Raiders minority owner Tom Brady represents ‘excellence,’ says Raiders majority owner Mark Davis. While Brady is busy broadcasting for Fox and may only have a 10 percent stake in the Raiders, I expect his involvement in running the team closer to 90 percent, we already know the organization wants to lean on Brady when choosing a future quarterback One of Davis’ strengths is his openness to listening to experienced football people, and he appreciates Brady’s understanding of what it takes to get there. win at a high level.”

Davis certainly needs help and guidance as his team hasn’t won a playoff game since 2002. And so now he’s reportedly turning Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, in hopes of turning around the franchise.

While Brady will apparently have a heavy hand in the Raiders’ football operations, he’s still in the first year of a 10-year, $375 million adventure. contract with Fox Sports.

Despite being approved, Brady’s restrictions are…
• It is not allowed to be in the facilities of another team
• It is not allowed to witness the practice
• Attending broadcast production meetings, whether in person or virtually, is not permitted
• Forbidden to publicly criticize games… https://t.co/ZLRgfgxGF6

Regardless, Brady’s ownership interest has been approved and he will continue to be a big voice in the Raiders organization. There’s also the question of whether he can adequately handle two jobs at once, though Brady will likely be released this offseason if he doesn’t play games.

Item No. 1 on the Raiders’ agenda this season will be finding a quarterback, so it stands to reason that Davis will look to the most talented of all time to find a new signal caller. It’s not entirely clear who will be QB1 in the draft, although five candidates seem to stand out: Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, Quinn Ewers of Texas, Carson Beck of Georgia, Cam Ward of Miami and Jalen Milroe of Alabama. Ward is currently QB1 on the B/R NFL Scouting Department large sign.

Ultimately, it’s clear that Brady will have Davis’ ear at a pivotal moment in franchise history. For now, the last-place 2-7 Raiders are riding a losing season that continues Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
