Tom Bradyâs role as a minority owner allows the NFL legend to have a major say in the Las Vegas Raidersâ decisions for the next campaign. With a revamped roster in mind, the former New England Patriots player has reportedly shown interest in signing a Super Bowl champion.
The Raiders were one of the worst teams last season and are looking to improve their team heading into the new season. The Las Vegas franchise enters the 2025 NFL season in a strong financial position with approximately $108 million in salary cap space, the fifth highest in the league.
With this salary cap space, the Raiders have the flexibility to address multiple roster needs and consider re-signing key players. The goal is to improve results, and Brady has set his sights on a Super Bowl champion.
Which Super Bowl champion is on the radar of Bradyâs Raiders?
The Super Bowl champion that Brady and the Raiders are interested in is none other than Matthew Stafford. The Patriots legend has reportedly been in contact with the Los Angeles Rams quarterbackâs agents about the possibility of him playing for the Raiders next season, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The GOAT is said to have had a communication to negotiate for the 37-year-old veteran.
