Tom Brady Sets a Timeline for When His Raiders Will Win The Super Bowl

Tom Brady has spent much of his football career chasing championships, and his role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders gives him another team to build around that goal. The franchise has struggled to return to the postseason spotlight, but Brady appears confident about where things can go.

His latest prediction gives the organization a clear target, even as its current season raises questions about how soon it can get there.

Tom Brady Predicts Raiders Will Win Super Bowl by 2030

Brady made his prediction during a rapid-fire segment on “The Gronk & Jules Show” for FOX Sports.

Former teammate Julian Edelman asked whether the Raiders would win a Super Bowl by 2030, prompting Rob Gronkowski to point out how difficult the question was.

Brady initially hesitated before giving his answer. “True,” he said, then repeated it for emphasis. Gronkowski joked that they could save the clip and bring it back in 2030 if Las Vegas fails to deliver a championship.

“We can use this in 2030… so we can harass him all the time,” Gronkowski said lightheartedly.

Brady has played a role in shaping the team’s direction, including hiring coach Klint Kubiak and selecting quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

However, the Raiders have plenty of work ahead. Las Vegas sits at 4-5 after a 38-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. The team opened the season 3-0 but has lost five of its last six games. It also trails Denver and Kansas City in the AFC West.

The organization made another major change at the trade deadline, sending veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to Minnesota for a 2027 third-round pick. Mendoza is now set to take over as the starter, beginning with the Week 10 matchup against Seattle.

The move puts more responsibility on the rookie as the Raiders focus on developing their young offensive core.

There are reasons for optimism on offense. Las Vegas ranks eighth in scoring at 26.4 points per game and fifth in passing yards, with tight end Brock Bowers leading the team with 658 receiving yards and six touchdowns. The ground game has struggled, though, ranking 31st with 71.3 yards per game.

The defense remains a bigger concern. It allows 29.8 points and 385.4 yards per game, ranking last in the NFL in both categories. The unit has also given up at least 30 points in seven consecutive games and sits just above Dallas, ranked second-worst on PFN’s Defense Impact Metric.

Brady’s 2030 target gives the Raiders a long-term goal, but the franchise must first address its defensive problems and build around Mendoza.

Las Vegas has not won a Super Bowl since the 1983 season. A fourth championship by 2030 would end a drought that has lasted more than four decades.
