Overview

• Brady was shown in the Raiders’ coaches’ booth with a headset during Week 2, and the NFL said that presence did not break any rules.
• League-tailored limits for 2025 still prohibit him from attending practices or in‑person production meetings, though remote meetings are allowed.
• Raiders OC Chip Kelly walked back earlier chatter about weekly planning with Brady, saying their talks are general football conversation and not game‑specific strategy.
• An anonymous owner and former coach Antonio Pierce argued the setup creates an unfair edge, while figures like Jerry Jones, Brian Schottenheimer, Ben Johnson and Terry Bradshaw downplayed concerns.
• Brady is calling Bears–Cowboys in Week 3 before Las Vegas faces Chicago in Week 4, a scheduling overlap cited by critics, and there is no indication of an NFL investigation.
