Tom Brady's purchase of a minority stake in the Raiders was approved by NFL team owners Tuesday.
, a move he called "a blessing to know I'll be involved in the greatest league in the world for the rest of my life."
"Tom is somebody that for many years I didn't like very much," Davis told reporters after Tuesday's league meetings concluded, referencing the infamous Tuck Rule controversy in 2002. "He did admit that it was a fumble. So those are important aspects of the situation. We're just really proud to have him as a partner. He's a competitor. He's a bright young man.
Davis declined to provide details on Brady's role with the Raiders, out of respect for Brady's job as a broadcaster for Fox. Davis said one of the sticking points in theWhile Brady's bid was pending, the league imposed a set of restrictions on him as a broadcaster that he has followed since he began working for Fox.
Davis said he understands the concerns because his father, Al Davis, was known for being protective of all Raiders intel. Another obstacle in Brady's path to Raiders ownership was the possibility he might resume his playing career. In July 2023, owners voted to prohibit non-family member employees from having equity in a team, which means Brady would have to sell his stake in the Raiders in order to play for another team."Ownership transactions take a long time," he said.
