Tom Brady's involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders has already begun to influence team dynamics and communication, adding a new layer of complexity to traditional relationships among players, coaches, and broadcasters.

NFL executives remain divided on whether Brady's participation in production meetings grants him an unfair advantage, with some viewing it as a potential breach of fairness while others see it as permissible.

As a minority owner of the Raiders, Brady has been permitted to attend production meetings remotely, although he is still restricted from attending team practices, with these restrictions being eased for the 2025 season.

The NFL confirmed that Brady did not violate any rules by sitting in the coaches' box during a recent Raiders game, and reports indicate he is actively discussing game plans with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.

There are concerns that Brady's access to internal team information could give him strategic insights into team preferences and internal dynamics, rather than direct involvement in game strategy.

Coaches and team officials are increasingly cautious in their communication with Brady, with some, like Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, noting they have become more guarded since Brady started calling games.
