It looks like former New England and Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady is not done with the NFL just yet. 

The 45-year-old retired for a second time at the end of last season and while a return to playing is off the table, there is a chance Brady could become an owner of an NFL franchise. 

As reported by ESPN, Brady is in talks to become a limited partner of the Las Vegas Raiders. 

These discussions have been ongoing for a number of months, but it is still a very sensitive and fluid situation according to sources close to the talks. 

However, if a deal is reached for Brady to have minority investment in the Raiders, he will not have any operational control or authority when it comes to decisions over business or football matters. 

This will not be first time that Brady has decided to invest in a Las Vegas based sports franchise after purchasing a stake in the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces in March who are owned by Mark Davis, the controlling owner of the Raiders.

DAZN will broadcast the entire 2023 season via the NFL Game Pass International service across the world (except the U.S. and China), find out more here.
