Tom Brady became part of the Las Vegas Raiders ownership group last week when he purchased a 5% stake in the franchise. Much of the news cycle surrounding his investment has been focused on how it will affect his Fox Sports broadcasting job— the rules surrounding owners' abilities to publicly comment on other teams and referees and such will be an obstacle for Brady to deal with in the booth.
Less attention is being paid to the possibility that the former quarterback bought into the Raiders with the aim of eventually returning to football in a decision-making capacity. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer opined Brady will eventually take a "prominent" football role for the Raiders after principal owner Mark Davis told him he wants to get Brady more involved with the team once he's done with FOX.
