New Las Vegas Raiders owner Tom Brady received a warm welcome when he visited the team’s offices on Wednesday. Just a day after NFL team owners approved his bid to acquire a 10 percent stake in the Raiders, the former star quarterback arrived at the facility alongside controlling owner Mark Davis.
In a video shared by the team on social media, employees are seen gathered in the foyer, erupting into applause as Brady enters. Smiling broadly, Brady clapped along with the enthusiastic crowd.
The Raiders’ tweet announced, “Welcome to the Silver & Black, @TomBrady.”
Brady, along with Knighthead Capital Management co-founder Tom Wagner, each purchased a 5 percent stake in the team on Tuesday. Former defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who played alongside Brady to win three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and finished his career with the Raiders, also bought a 0.5 percent stake in the Las Vegas franchise.
Brady, 47, holds the record for the most Super Bowl wins, with six titles from his time with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He currently serves as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports under a 10-year, $375 million contract.
