Tom Brady the former quarterback and one of the best talents the American football has ever seen has once again garnered limelight.
According to the NFL, Brady’s acquisition of a modest ownership interest in the Las Vegas Raiders is still pending.
However, Brady will still be able to play for any team, though, at least until the month of October and possibly beyond.
The purchase might be approved by a vote as early as next month, but there are still other procedures to be followed, including those regarding financing and information exchange.
The process might take longer as no solid clarity is further provided on the matter.

However, Brady stated for Sports Illustrated, “I’m certain I’m not playing again, so I’ve tried to make that clear, and I hate to continue to profess that, cause I’ve already told people that lots of times,”
“But I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job at Fox next year. I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that, along with the other different things that I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life, just spending as much time with my kids as I can and seeing them grow up and support the different things that they have going on, and that’s a very important job, and I take them all pretty seriously.”
The New England Patriots in their match against the Philadelphia Eagles honoured Brady at the half-time ceremony. Brady has led the Patriots to 6 Super Bowl wins and they also won seventeen Division Titles with him.
According to the NFL, Brady said, “All our lives take us on different journeys. They take us to different places. They bring different people into our lives,”
“But one thing I am sure of, and that will never change, is that I am a Patriot for life.”
