Tom Brady Joins Raiders Ownership, Eyes Key Role in Revamping Struggling NFL Team
  • Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, became a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in October 2023 and currently serves as the top color commentator for Fox.

  • Davis recently secured additional financial resources by selling nearly 25% of the Raiders to co-owners, including Brady, which may impact future coaching decisions.

  • Mark Davis emphasized the need to respect Brady's broadcasting commitments, noting that his full involvement with the Raiders will not begin until after the Super Bowl on February 9, 2024.

  • Davis expressed optimism about Brady's communication skills and his potential role in overseeing the team's broader organizational strategy, viewing him as essential for building the team's infrastructure.

  • Brady is expected to play a crucial role in selecting the Raiders' future quarterback as the team aims for a top pick in the April 2024 draft.

  • The Raiders are currently enduring a challenging season, having lost 10 consecutive games, the longest active losing streak in the NFL, with eight of those losses by more than one possession.

  • Head coach Antonio Pierce has struggled in his first year, holding a record of 2-12, which has led to speculation about his future with the team.

  • In response to the team's disappointing performance, Pierce has made significant staff changes, including firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and offensive line coach James Cregg.

  • Despite the team's struggles, Davis noted that the players have not quit on Pierce and continue to play hard.

  • Davis indicated that the evaluations of Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco will be separate, suggesting that Telesco's position may be more secure amid the turmoil.
