• League guardrails now permit Brady to join production meetings remotely but continue to prohibit practice access and on‑site meetings at team facilities or hotels.
• Reaction is split: Bears coach Ben Johnson said he will share no ‘trade secrets’ before Brady calls Bears‑Cowboys this week, while critics including Marcus Spears argue the setup risks the NFL’s integrity.
• ESPN’s report that Chip Kelly speaks with Brady two to three times weekly about film and game plans fueled concerns; Pete Carroll disputed the specifics but confirmed regular conversations with Brady.
