The controversy surrounding Brady’s presence in the coaching booth has not impacted strategic planning or game preparation, according to Johnson, who considers the situation routine.

The Bears are preparing to face Brady’s Raiders in Week 4, following their Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys, with Brady calling the game for Fox from Soldier Field, which has raised conflict of interest questions.

Ben Johnson, the Chicago Bears' head coach, has expressed that he is not concerned about sharing information with Tom Brady during production meetings ahead of their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, dismissing any worries about conflicts of interest.

While some teams, especially those facing the Raiders, are uneasy about Brady’s access, Johnson maintains a positive relationship with him and sees no advantage being gained from Brady’s presence in the booth.

Johnson also downplayed concerns regarding Brady's dual roles as a Fox analyst and Raiders minority owner, calling the situation 'not a big deal' and emphasizing that he maintains a professional approach without sharing sensitive information.

Johnson describes his approach as maintaining 'coachspeak' since the season started, indicating he views the situation as routine and not problematic.

Brady is allowed to attend remote production meetings and conduct off-site interviews, but the league emphasizes that decisions about pregame sharing are left to the discretion of players and coaches.

Brady, who owns a 5 percent stake in the Raiders and is Fox’s lead NFL analyst, has been seen in the Raiders coaches' booth during games, fueling ongoing concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

Tom Brady, who joined the Raiders ownership group in 2024, was seen in the coaching booth during a Monday Night Football game, which prompted questions about potential rule violations, though the NFL confirmed he did not break any rules.

The NFL has clarified that Brady, as a limited partner, is permitted to sit in the coaches' booth and wear a headset during games, but he is restricted from visiting opposing team facilities or attending practices to prevent conflicts.

The NFL clarified that Brady was in the coaches' booth in accordance with league policies and was not engaging in any wrongdoing, despite reports of frequent discussions with Raiders' offensive coordinator.

Johnson assured that he is cautious with communication and believes there is no unfair advantage, as Brady does not have access to trade secrets or sensitive information, and his access to game tape is similar to that of other analysts.
