The Las Vegas Raiders aim to establish a winning culture that has been sorely lacking since the team’s relocation from Oakland, California. To support this effort, they welcomed the NFL’s most decorated player, Tom Brady, as a minority owner this season. While some fans express concern over Brady’s evident bias towards the Raiders during his NFL broadcasts for FOX, he seems set to maintain both roles for the foreseeable future.
According to a prominent league insider, Brady’s involvement in Las Vegas is deeper than many expected. During a recent episode of The Ryen Russillo Show, Diani Russini shared insights about the current dynamics in the desert. “Let’s just start with making it really clear that Tom Brady is running everything in Vegas,” Russini responded. This revelation is surprising given that despite his legendary playing career, Brady lacks front-office experience.
Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions. One tweeted, “Not surprised at all,” while another expressed concerns regarding Raiders’ majority owner Mark Davis, saying, “Whatever they do, keep MD away from the stadium.” A fan also noted the difference between Pete Carroll and other veteran coaches, emphasizing Carroll’s adaptability and connection with players, which could be an encouraging sign for Brady’s involvement in hiring him as the next head coach. It’ll be interesting to see how Brady’s decisions unfold.
