    Tom Brady received the warmest of welcomes from his new Raiders family after his minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas franchise was approved Tuesday by league owners at their fall meetings.

    In a video shared Wednesday on the Raiders’ social media channels, the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback is seen walking into the team’s facility with owner Mark Davis while being greeted with rapturous applause from staffers upon entering another new era of an already storied career.

    A smiling Brady, 47, soaked in the moment and embraced Davis, 69, in the lobby of the building.

    “I’m incredibly humbled and excited to have been unanimously approved as an owner of the Las Vegas Raiders,” Brady said in a statement Tuesday. “Throughout my NFL career, I’ve learned that at its core, football is a game of teamwork, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. The Raiders franchise, and the city of Las Vegas embody these same values, and I’m honored to become part of that story.”

    Brady and Tom Wagner, the founder of Knightead Capital, bought into the Raiders at around a $3.5 billion valuation, equating to a 10 percent stake, per reports.

    The ownership greenlight comes roughly a month after Brady made his broadcasting debut as Fox’s lead NFL analyst.

    Adding to what has already been a monumental year of change for Brady are the new restrictions he’s going to adhere to as an analyst-turned-NFL owner.

    The future Hall of Famer is not allowed to be in another team’s facility and view practices. He’s also barred from critiquing game officials and other teams publicly, according to ESPN .

    Further, Brady cannot attend production meetings whether virtually or in person.

    The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback agreed to a monster 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox in 2022. His discussions with the Raiders about ownership were first revealed a year later .

    Despite the obvious hurdles in front of Brady, sources told The Post’s Ryan Glasspiegel over the summer that Fox officials are not concerned “at all” by the potential limitations.

    Brady, who played in the league for 23 seasons, has grown more comfortable in his role as a commentator following a shaky Week 1 debut .

    He and Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call Sunday for a Super Bowl 2024 rematch between the 49ers and Chiefs in San Francisco.
