New Las Vegas Raiders owner Tom Brady was greeted by cheers when he arrived at the team’s offices on Wednesday.
One day after the other team owners approved Brady’s bid to buy 10 percent of the Raiders, the former star quarterback arrived at the team’s facility accompanied by controlling owner Mark Davis.
In a video shared by the club on social media, team employees are seen surrounding the foyer, and they burst into applause as Brady walks in. Brady smiled broadly and applauded back.
The Raiders’ tweet read, “Welcome to the Silver & Black, @Tom Brady”
Brady and Knighthead Capital Management co-founder Tom Wagner each purchased 5 percent of the Raiders on Tuesday. Former defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who teamed with Brady to win three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and ended his career with the Raiders, bought 0.5 percent of the Las Vegas franchise.
Brady, 47, won a record seven Super Bowls, six with New England and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is the all-time NFL leader in most major passing statistics. He is in the first year of a 10-year, $375 million contract to serve as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports.
