The Las Vegas Raiders’ minority ownership deal with Tom Brady may be stalled.
NFL owners opted to ban non-family personnel from owning stakes in the team, according to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal. On Wednesday, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk said the new regulation “complicates” Brady’s Raiders partnership.
“During last week’s special meeting to approve the sale of the Commanders from Daniel Snyder to Josh Harris, Raiders owner Mark Davis spoke passionately against the proposed rule, explaining that he had planned to employ Brady as part of the deal for Brady to buy a piece of the team,” Florio said.
Brady and Davis may have to revise their deal, and Florio asked if the enterprise fails.
Davs told ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez in May that the Hall of Fаme quarterback would join the Raiders’ ownership group.
In June, Florio stated that the league believed Brady was “buying something more than a ceremonial sliver of the Raiders.” The 45-year-old told Brooke Lefferts of the Associated Press he would play “a very passive role” in the group.
Brady stated in those statements that he wаnted some official obligations with the Raiders, even if they weren’t football-related.
That possibility appears to be gone if he wants an equity stake.
