NFL's 2025 season third week spotlight revolves around none other than Tom Brady
In the world of football, the name Tom Brady continues to be a topic of conversation, even though he hasn't taken the field since the 2022 season. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has found a new role off the field, with a unique connection to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Brady, who is a limited partner of the Raiders, is known to regularly discuss the game plan with the Raiders' offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. The duo meets multiple times a week to strategise for upcoming games, according to reports. However, these conversations are described as random and not structured, and NFL coaches around the league believe Brady would only be able to provide information they give him, which they have no intention of providing.
Despite his ownership of the Raiders, Brady is not seen as a threat by many coaches. Sean Payton, the coach of the Denver Broncos, stated that he is not concerned about Brady covering NFC games. Raiders coach Pete Carroll insists that Brady is not planning games with the team.
The NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, has spoken about Brady's efforts to avoid conflicts. Brady has been "incredibly cooperative" in trying to avoid problems, according to Goodell. He must abide by policies that prohibit the use of electronic devices other than league-issued equipment in the booth.
Recently, Brady was seen wearing a headset in the Raiders' coaching booth during the Monday Night Football broadcast between the Raiders and Chargers. While the NFL has no policies prohibiting an owner from sitting in the coaches' booth or wearing a headset during a game, it raises questions about potential conflicts of interest.
Brady's role with the Raiders and his work as a Fox Sports analyst will continue to be a subject of discussion. He is scheduled to meet with Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson and other Bears personnel this week as part of his FOX production duties.
In 2025, Brady met virtually with AFC and NFC head coaches during production meetings. He remotely attended these meetings to discuss game plans and coaching insights, sharing and receiving strategic information while maintaining league-approved boundaries to prevent conflicts of interest. However, specific names of the AFC and NFC coaches involved were not disclosed in the available information.
Despite the controversies, many coaches around the league seem unconcerned about leaking vital team information to Brady. Johnson, for instance, does not seem concerned about giving away secrets to Brady, stating that the Bears change week-to-week in terms of strategy and personnel.
In conclusion, Tom Brady's role in the NFL, though unconventional, continues to evolve. His connections with the Las Vegas Raiders and NFL coaches, as well as his work as a Fox Sports analyst, will undoubtedly keep him in the spotlight, even as he remains off the field.
