Overview

• The NFL said there is no policy barring a team owner from sitting in a coaches’ booth or wearing a headset and noted Brady is limited to remote production meetings as a broadcaster.
• After an ESPN sideline report suggested frequent game-planning talks, Raiders coordinator Chip Kelly and head coach Pete Carroll said conversations with Brady are general football discussions, not weekly strategy sessions.
• An anonymous owner quoted by The Athletic, echoed in multiple outlets, called Brady’s access an unfair advantage, and former Raiders coach Antonio Pierce warned he could share “tidbits” gleaned from production settings.
• Countering those concerns, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer and Bears coach Ben Johnson said they are not worried and avoid divulging sensitive details, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he sees no competitive issue.
• Brady will call Bears–Cowboys in Week 3 before the Raiders face Chicago in Week 4, a back-to-back setup that has intensified questions about how broadcast interactions could intersect with his ownership stake.
