After Tom Brady retired from the NFL during the offseason, there was widespread speculation about what his next move would be.
Some believed that he would join yet another team, start his broadcasting career early, or do a myriad of other things.
One topic that was not discussed was a partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders, which was recently reported on by Adam Schefter and Seth Wickersham.

As Schefter highlights, this would be Brady’s second partnership with Mark Davis.
The first was a collaboration with Las Vegas’ WNBA team, the Aces.
It appears that the two have a great relationship, which could continue if Brady does follow through with his Raiders partnership.
When this was announced, fans took to Twitter, expressing their thoughts on the situation.
Many fans were excited about this collaboration, especially considering Brady’s recent popularity.

While there was initial excitement, especially among Raiders fans, other fans were just happy that another rumor was put to bed.
Hope it happens to finally end the silly Dolphins rumors.

One of the many rumors throughout the offseason was that Brady was interested in joining the Miami Dolphins.
If he does become a partner of the Raiders, he would seemingly be ineligible to join another team, if that was still on the table.
Brady has increasingly become more of a business-minded individual over the past few years, and this latest venture is a great example of that.
Many have indicated that Brady is trying to get out of his broadcast deal with Fox.
If that is the case, what else will Brady dip his toes into?
