NFL tweets Tom Brady in Raiders coaching box & then deletes it after fans point to his conflict of interest

[Jplaya2023]

I like the debate Canty and Spears just had on this. I see both sides of the coin.

The access and opportunity is there..that's what you don't understand...that's it..he can literally be around facilities and meetings that no other owner has access to...
These are pre production meetings so he gets to know the truth before the public and understand things literally internally..
He's is an owner sitting in on meetings of other teams..
Unless you think this is normal then you don't understand why this is story..

Name 1 owner that can do this and then can sit in his team coaching booth with headsets on..

Tom Brady broadcast restrictions 2025​

Last year, Brady had multiple broadcast restrictions after finalizing his minority ownership stake in the Raiders. Per ESPN, they were:

• Brady will not be permitted in another team's facility
• He cannot witness team practices
• He cannot attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually
• He cannot publicly criticize game officials
• He cannot publicly criticize other teams
• Brady will be subject to the NFL's gambling policy
• He will also be subject to the NFL's anti-tampering policy

In 2025, the biggest change in the "Brady Rules" is that the future Hall of Fame quarterback can now attend production meetings with Fox – with a small caveat. According to multiple reports, Brady is allowed to meet with coaches and players ahead of that week's game, so long as those meetings are either virtual or off-site.

The Raiders' minority owner is still prohibited from attending other teams' practices or visiting their facilities and still can't be too critical of officials or other teams.

It's up to the coaches if they're dumb enough to share critical information. All that other stuff you said about facility access, etc is wrong.

At the end of the day, if he's following the rules and guidelines, there should be no issue.

The last thing the NFL wants is bad optics. If he was doing anything illegal or something that may be sketchy, Goodell would send his goons up there right away and end it.

This is baffling to me that the NFL is allowing this

Tom Brady as an announcer will be in production meetings with coaches and talking to players all he has to do is go back to the Raiders and tell them everything

Maybe the NFL just wants to help the Raiders and bring em back to prominence

Tell them.... what, exactly? What exclusive information is Greg Olson/Jonathan Vilma getting told by anybody except MAYBE the Panthers/Aints that they wouldn't want out there for public consumption?
