Overview

• Brady used his Wednesday newsletter to argue his work as Fox’s lead analyst and a roughly 5% Raiders owner is not a conflict, labeling doubters “paranoid and distrustful.”
• The NFL reiterated there is no rule barring an owner from sitting in a coaches’ booth or wearing a headset, and said Brady broke no policy during Las Vegas’ Week 2 game.
• The league’s eased guidelines this season allow him to attend pregame production meetings remotely, while bans remain on entering other teams’ facilities or practices.
• ESPN reported Brady and Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly speak multiple times weekly; Kelly and head coach Pete Carroll said the talks are casual and not game‑planning, and ex‑coach Antonio Pierce has claimed Brady shared “tidbits” in the past.
• Some coaches, including Nick Sirianni and Chicago’s Ben Johnson, said they are unbothered and won’t share trade secrets, even as at least one anonymous owner has called Brady’s access an unfair advantage.
