Silver Minings: Brady reflects on his new role with the Raiders

Tom Brady gives his thoughts on his new role with the Las Vegas Raiders and impact on the offseason

The Las Vegas Raiders added Tom Brady as the minority owner during the 2024 season. While most minority owners aren’t part of the offseason process, it is rumored that Brady has been involved in shaping the franchise's future.

That includes the hiring of new head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll brings stability to the coaching staff and has added high-profile coaches such as Chip Kelly to become offensive coordinator. It has led to optimism from Raider Nation for the 2025 season.

Brady was interviewed before he called the Super Bowl on Sunday about his role with the Raiders.

“I’m there to support the team, the leadership, and the overall vision for success,” Brady said. “This approach as a broadcaster has been all-encompassing this year. And the reality is that Mark Davis is the owner of the Raiders and I play a supportive, complementary role to the vision that he sets. And that will happen in its own time and place.”

Brady being on board gives the Raiders a feel of legitmaticy that is helping them attract top candidates for the job. It could leak into free agency where the Raiders are second in overall cap space. Hopefully, it leads to the Raiders putting a good product on the field.
