Tom Brady debuts in the Raiders’ booth
Las Vegas – Tom Brady, minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, made his first appearance in the team’s coaches’ booth during the first quarter of Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Brady, who was wearing headphones, has been a valuable resource for coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, who was in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ front office when the seven-time Super Bowl champion was the starting quarterback.
Carroll and Spytek have consulted Brady about roster decisions during the offseason. Spytek stated that Brady’s voice has been “invaluable”.
Recently, the NFL relaxed some of its restrictions around Brady in his role as a Fox commentator, allowing him to attend production meetings this season.
Brady will have to attend production meetings remotely, and he will not yet be allowed to attend training sessions at the team’s facilities.
Brady is scheduled to commentate on the Week 3 Cowboys-Bears game; the Raiders play against the Bears the following week.
After his 23-year playing career, Brady debuted on Fox last season with a 10-year, $375 million contract he originally agreed to in 2022. However, limitations were imposed on Brady due to his agreement to become a partial owner of the Raiders, a deal that was approved by the league’s owners in October.
