Is Tom Brady building his post-retirement empire in Sin City?

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is in heavy conversations to become a limited partner of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN. This is Brady’s second partnership to potentially come together with Raiders owner Mark Davis on purchasing a stake in a professional sports franchise in less than two months.

Talks between Brady and Davis have been happening for weeks now, and a deal appears to be on the horizon; however, ESPN’s sources did note the negotiations are still very sensitive and fluid. It’s expected that Brady’s investment will be “passive,” according to ESPN, and he would have neither operational control nor authority over the Raiders in both business and football matters.

Back in March, Brady purchased a stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, which are also primarily owned by Davis.

If I was in Tom Brady’s position where I’m a legendary seven-time Super Bowl champion and ready to build my post-retirement empire, I would have personally chosen Miami, but Las Vegas would have definitely been second on my list. And who am I kidding, I would 100% have business endeavors there, but it’s looking like Brady is making Sin City the primary city of his empire.

Hey, I’m not gonna hate on him there. It is Vegas, after all:
