Tom Brady Gets Approval To Buy Stake In Las Vegas Raiders, But Restrictions On His Broadcast Role At Fox Apply

NFL owners Tuesday approved a sale of 10% of the Las Vegas Raiders to an ownership group that includes the seven-time Super Bowl champ. Brady personally holds a 5% stake.

The agreement comes with some restrictions, however, specifically on Brady’s new gig as a Fox Sports broadcast analyst.
Per NFL.com, “Brady is not permitted to attend in-person or online broadcast production meetings and may not have access to team facilities, players or coaches. Fox staff is not subject to these limitations.
“He also must abide by the league constitution and bylaws that prohibit public criticism of officials and other clubs, but is allowed to broadcast Raiders games.”
The restrictions have been in place since August, ahead of his first year as Fox’s lead NFL analyst after signing a 10-year deal. NFL owners have been mulling Brady’s stake petition since May.
