Last month at the NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix, Raiders owner Mark Davis hinted that his growing relationship with Tom Brady, who recently bought a minority share of Davis’ WNBA Las Vegas Aces, would lead to more partnerships down the road.

“I hope for a long-term relationship in a number of things,” Davis said at the time. “He’s a unique individual.”

Well, it looks like that might soon come to fruition.

According to an ESPN report, Brady is “deep in discussions” to become a limited partner of the Raiders and buy a share of the club Davis owns.

If a deal occurs, the former Patriots and Buccaneers’ Super Bowl championship quarterback would have a stake in the Raiders. Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, retired at the end of last season.

Davis described Brady as a “great partner,” in terms of their Aces business partnership. And now it looks like that might about to grow into an even bigger relationship.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
