NFL legend Tom Brady is a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. The quarterback, who won seven Super Bowls across stints with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, never played for the Raiders, but secured a 5% stake in the franchise for $3.5 billion in 2024.

NFL analyst Mike Florio pointed out that Raiders owner Mark Davis gave Brady a sweet deal, contrasting it with Eli Manning's standoff with the Giants. The New York Giants were reportedly willing to sell 1% of the franchise to Manning for $10 billion. However, the quarterback backed out, saying the deal was too expensive for him. Manning also pointed out how this purchase could create many conflicts with his other endeavors, including broadcasting for ESPN.

"Speaking of Brady, the fact that the Giants wouldn’t give a two-time Super Bowl winner a sweetheart deal underscores the cool-friend discount Brady got from Raiders owner Mark Davis," Florio wrote for NBC Sports. "Brady bought his piece of a team he never played for at an embarrassingly low $3.5 billion valuation — roughly a third of the number Eli floated."

Mark Wahlberg hints at becoming the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders along with Tom Brady

Tom Brady is friends with Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg, who has shown interest in securing a piece of the Raiders:

In an appearance on the "Card Shopping" YouTube page, the actor said:

"It’s crazy because I know people are going to give me a lot of s—t for this. But I live in Las Vegas. Tom’s got a piece of the Raiders. A lot of my friends got a piece of the Raiders.

"I went to six home games last year (2024). I didn’t make it to any of the New England Patriots' games because I live far away. My golf cart just got painted black. I did not even know it."

It'll be interesting to see if another major name is added to the Raiders ownership in the near future.
