  • The NFL relaxed its so-called Brady rules this season to allow virtual participation in broadcast production meetings while keeping in-person access off limits.
  • Fox NFL deleted a viral Sept. 15 video that showed Brady in the Raiders’ coaches’ booth wearing a headset during the Chargers game.
  • Raiders coach Pete Carroll praised Brady’s insight as an owner, while offensive coordinator Chip Kelly later clarified he does not discuss game plans with Brady.
  • Brady rejected conflict-of-interest claims in his weekly newsletter and continues his Fox duties; he holds a 5% Raiders stake and a 10-year, $375 million broadcasting deal.
