Overview
- In The Athletic’s anonymous poll of 76 players, 64 (84.2%) said they are OK with Brady serving as both a Raiders minority owner and Fox analyst.
- Five players opposed the arrangement and seven said they didn’t know or didn’t care.
- Supporters frequently pointed to Brady’s legacy, with some noting Las Vegas finished 3–14 in 2025 when dismissing competitive concerns.
- A smaller group warned of conflict-of-interest risks and poor optics from overlapping owner and broadcaster access.
- The NFL barred Brady from in-person production meetings in 2024 before allowing virtual participation last season, following scrutiny over his presence in the Raiders’ coaching box and broadcasts scheduled shortly before teams faced Las Vegas.
