Tom Brady explains role as Raiders minority owner

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady may have grown up a San Francisco 49ers fan, but now the 45-year-old invested in San Francisco’s former Bay Area rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, as a minority owner.

What exactly will Brady’s new role be, and how much will he be involved with the Raiders’ day-to-day? In a recent Q&A with the Associated Press, Brady touched on what his involvement with the franchise will be.

“I’ll be playing a very passive role,” Brady said. “This is something that I’m interested in doing for the rest of my life. This is not something that I’m into it for a year or two years. You know, I’ve got a lot of responsibility with my Fox job, which I take very seriously. But if I’m looking over the course of my life, to have the opportunity to be involved in the NFL is a dream come true. And if I could help the NFL and continue to contribute in a positive way, then you know, that’s been a very enjoyable part of my life.”
