Tom Brady ‘was supposed’ to play for Raiders upon leaving Patriots, Las Vegas owner Mark Davis said

After walking away from the Patriots as a free agent in March 2020, Tom Brady shocked the world by joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, multiple other teams heavily pursued the legendary quarterback (unsurprisingly), including the Las Vegas Raiders.

Raiders principal owner Mark Davis confirmed in a recent interview that his organization nearly landed Brady, a then-six-time Super Bowl-winning QB with New England.

“He was supposed to be here in 2020,” Davis said in a video shared by the Raiders. “That’s when our relationship started, was in 2020 when he was a free agent and we talked to him about coming here to play quarterback.
