I'd imagine this scuttles his planned Fox Sports analyst job. Too much conflict of interest otherwise.

Why would anyone give up a ton of guaranteed money to sit in a board meeting with Mark Davis's ghoulish face, that's beyond me man

Raiders worth $6.2B. Davis was offering Brady 10% ownerahip at $175m. Owners said no.

But looks like it's a matter of when, not if.
If it was say 1%, maybe the owners would be ok with that number. But, not at 10% where you are short nearly half a billion dollars based on market value.
Plus, Davis does not own a major chunk of the team. Other families have interests in the team, but I guess similar to Cuban's sale of the Mavs, it's the Davis family that is in control of the franchise.

AFAIk Davis owns 47%, so unless the owners of the other 53% band together and force a coup he's safe. They could very well be the type of people who don't really care how the team performs given the money they make.

Or Al Davis' Ghost haunts them every night.

I never thought Mark Davis was a smart cookie, but surely one of his accountants could explain to him why giving up $400m+ in franchise equity to get Tom Brady as a 10% owner is a bad financial move?

Brady's group expected to purchase 10% of team with $5.8b valuation, with Brady personally owning 7%. Final finance committee approval expected early March and sale finalized at league meetings late March.

Purchase would officially make Brady retired as active players cannot own team.

Brady getting a deal. Figured the Raiders brand is worth more than the Commanders. Mark Davis dropping his share down to 37%. But, so long as he maintains control of the team, I guess that's all he cares about.
