Overview

• ESPN’s broadcast showed the Raiders minority owner in the coaching box wearing a headset during Las Vegas’ 20-9 loss to the Chargers.
• NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said no policy bars an owner from sitting in a coaches’ booth or using a headset and noted Brady was there as a limited partner.
• ESPN reported Chip Kelly told them he talks with Brady two to three times weekly about film and game plans, a characterization Pete Carroll later called not accurate while acknowledging regular conversations.
• The NFL posted and then deleted a social media clip highlighting Brady in the booth, intensifying questions over perceived conflicts tied to his Fox analyst role.
• Under eased 2025 rules, Brady may join production meetings only remotely and remains barred from opposing teams’ facilities and practices, with his next Fox assignment set for Cowboys-Bears a week before Chicago plays the Raiders.
