Sources suggest a vote might occur at next month's Fall League Meeting, but finance and acquisition details are still being worked out.

Brady may retire from the NFL during the Winter League Meeting in December if the process isn't completed by October.

Brady's comeback to football is unlikely if he joins the Raiders' ownership group. NFL regulations prohibit active players from owning clubs.

Brady stated he would return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd season 40 days after retiring in 2022.

On February 1, Brady announced his second retirement, but many fans and experts didn't believe it.

Brady still keeps his retirement promise over eight months later.

There were cries for the New York Jets to contact Brady after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on Monday against the Buffalo Bills, but it doesn't appear to be happening.
