Overview

• Cameras showed Brady wearing a headset in the Raiders’ coaches’ booth during Monday Night Football, a setup the league says is allowed.
• Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly walked back suggestions of frequent opponent talks with Brady, saying they do not discuss game plans and that Brady did not interact with coaches in the booth.
• Anonymously quoted owners and former coach Antonio Pierce warn of a potential unfair advantage from Brady’s broadcaster access, while figures such as Jerry Jones, Bears coach Ben Johnson and Terry Bradshaw have downplayed concerns.
• League guardrails remain in place: Brady is barred from team facilities and practices but may join production meetings remotely and conduct off‑site interviews.
• Brady calls Bears–Cowboys today; with Chicago set to face the Raiders next week, reporting says he spoke this week with Bears personnel, adding to scrutiny over his dual roles.
