Overview

• In his weekly newsletter, Brady said the intersection of his jobs is not a conflict and described critics as "paranoid and distrustful."
• The NFL reiterated there is no policy barring an owner from the coaches’ booth or wearing a headset, while Brady remains subject to guardrails that allow only virtual production‑meeting access and prohibit visits to other teams’ practices or facilities.
• ESPN reporting says Brady speaks with Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly multiple times per week, which Kelly described as casual football conversations that do not cover game plans.
• Former Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Brady shared useful "tidbits" last season that could have come from practices or production meetings, though he did not provide specifics.
• As Brady called Bears‑Cowboys for Fox ahead of Raiders‑Bears, Chicago coach Ben Johnson said he would not share trade secrets and expressed little concern about Brady’s access.
