The NFL season might be over, but rumors are continuing in full swing. Former New England Patriots legend Tom Brady still has a hold on the NFL. Brady has the ability to persuade players, and his minor ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders can bring some top stars to the team.
Tom Brady will play a crucial role in the team’s hiring process. The former star will help the team sign free agents and discuss trade deals. Brady could help Lure Matthew Stafford to play for the Raiders.
The Quarterback already has a ring, but he’s looking to secure the tail end of his career. Stafford could play for many more years,s and his stint with the Los Angeles Rams could come to an end. Recently, Vincent Bonsignore of the Vegas Nation mentioned that Tom Brady would recruit free agents and explore trade opportunities, including Stafford as an option.
“Something to keep an eye on, per sources: the persuasiveness of Tom Brady as a recruiter for the Raiders. It will make things interesting during free agency. And maybe even in the trade market. It’s why you can’t rule out Matthew Stafford as an option,” Bonsignore wrote on X.

The Raiders could be the perfect fit for Stafford. It’s worth noting that the Raiders are second in the league with the biggest cap room. With Brady’s influence, they might be able to acquire the Quarterback with ease.
Tom Brady Could Use His Influence To Secure Tyler Shough
All eyes are on Tyler Shough in the 2025 NFL draft. While the Raiders are keen on acquiring Stafford, they are keeping an eye on Shough as well. Brady could step in again and use his influence to secure the young quarterback for the team.
The Raiders must have a long-term quarterback, especially after their struggles with Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew. O’Connell might remain on the Raiders squad, but Minshew is expected to be released anytime.
The Raiders will undoubtedly need a strong quarterback for the long run. Tom Brady might be able to help secure Shough, but they are picking at No. 6. It’s a tough call but still a possible one. If the Raiders fail, they could turn toward other veteran players as options.
Kirk Cousins might be one of their targets for next season. Yet, Stafford and Shough will be top of their list, and Brady will play a vital role as the team’s minority owner.
