Sean Payton Weighs in on Tom Brady's Conflicting Roles As Broadcaster, Raiders Minority Owner
This article was originally published on www.si.com as Sean Payton Weighs in on Tom Brady's Conflicting Roles As Broadcaster, Raiders Minority Owner.
NFL executives reportedly have mixed feelings about Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady sitting in on production meetings with other teams ahead of his broadcasts on Fox.
Three years ago, Sean Payton and Tom Brady became linked by the Dolphins' effort to get them to join forces in South Florida.
Brady reportedly goes over offensive plans with Chip Kelly and was with the Raiders coaches during Monday's game. Conflict of interest?
Brady spent at least some of Monday night in the Raiders' coaches' box, and ESPN's broadcast reported that he consults with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly "2-3 times" a week. Head coach Pete Carroll denied that reporting after the game, though he did say he and Kelly talk to Brady "about life and football" and that he has "great insight."
The conflict of interest existed from the moment Tom Brady became both a Fox broadcaster and a minority owner of the Raiders.
