NFL Rumors: Tom Brady's Raiders Ownership Opposed by Some Teams Due to Fox Role

As NFL legend Tom Brady continues his quest to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that many teams are against him being an owner while also working in the broadcast booth for Fox.

"There are some teams, I've talked to them, that are vehemently opposed to Tom Brady being an equity partner, being a part owner of a team and broadcasting games," Pelissero said on The Rick Eisen Show (1:37 mark). "They simply don't want to have it, they're not going to let him into production meetings, they don't want somebody on talking about their team who's owner of another team."

According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, it's "doubtful" owners even vote on Brady during the upcoming meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee.

Brady, who became an owner of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces last fall, has been looking to gain ownership in the Raiders since last year. In May of 2023, team owner Mark Davis said he had "come to an agreement" with Brady to join the ownership group, but his role with the team is still pending.

With the latest news, Brady could have to wait much longer to see if he will have a stake in the Raiders.

Now joining Fox as an analyst, Brady's chance to be an NFL owner could be in jeopardy if teams see it as a conflict of interest. Brady's deal with Fox was announced last February by the network and he will officially begin his broadcast career this fall.
