Richard Seymour, a Pro Football Hall of Famer who played eight seasons with the Patriots, is reportedly finalizing a deal to become a minority owner and limited partner of the Raiders, Khari Thompson of The Boston Globe reports.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Seymour is joining forces with another Patriots legend, Tom Brady.

Together, Brady and Seymour along with their partners would own 10.4 percent of the team if the deal goes through, Florio reports.

The bid must receive 24 votes to be approved. Brady’s bid has yet to be approved, but the addition of Seymour could address some of the issues with it, according to the report.

“The combination of Seymour and Brady is expected to resolve most of the concerns about Brady’s bid,” Florio wrote. “Among other things, Mark Davis originally proposed giving Brady a steep discount over market value. That didn’t fly with the other owners.”
