Mark Davis: Tom Brady Takes Football Role After Gruden's Exit

Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has clarified Tom Brady's role in the organization, stating that Brady will fill a significant football position that has been lacking since Jon Gruden's departure in 2021. Following Brady's approval as a minority owner in October 2024, Davis expressed excitement about Brady's contributions, indicating that he hopes to bring stability similar to what he initially expected from Gruden. Gruden was forced out after emails with racist and misogynistic content were leaked, leaving the team in a difficult situation. Davis introduced new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, emphasizing that Brady's experience is needed to improve the team's performance. Despite not being able to attend most games due to his broadcasting commitments, Brady's influence on the team is expected to be substantial as the Raiders attempt to rebuild. Davis remains optimistic that the new leadership structure will help turn the franchise around.
