NFL reveals SPECIAL RULES only for Tom Brady if he gets approved as new Las Vegas Raiders owner

Tom Brady’s potential part-ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders could lead to complications in his role as a host on Fox Sports.

As a result, the NFL has implemented a number of rules that the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback must abide by if he becomes a part owner of the Raiders.

In a presentation to team owners during Tuesday’s NFL meeting in Minneapolis, the league confirmed to ESPN that Brady will face a number of restrictions.

This means that Brady is not allowed to enter another team’s facilities, attend practices or participate in any broadcast production meetings.

Some of these restrictions would make it difficult for Brady to do his job properly. The lack of access to coaches and players before games is the biggest limitation.

These restrictions would apply to Brady’s role as a color commentator for Fox Sports

Before a game, a broadcast team typically meets with head coaches and players from specific games and provides in-depth insights that will be used in the broadcast.

The rules, which were laid out on a slide titled “Brady — Broadcast Restrictions,” appear to apply only to the seven-time Super Bowl winner. They would not apply to other members of his or any other Fox Sports crew.

In addition to these rules, Brady is also subject to other league rules that other owners also abide by.

This means that Brady is unable to publicly criticise match officials or other clubs. During a broadcast, Brady could theoretically say that he disagrees with a decision. However, he could be fined or suspended if he goes too far.

Additionally, he would be subject to the league’s anti-tampering policy and would only be allowed to have “strictly social communications with members of other clubs.” Brady would also be subject to the NFL’s gambling policy.

According to league spokesman Brian McCarthy, there is precedent for these rules.

In 2017, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen officiated a number of games for Fox, including a game against the Minnesota Vikings when he was still on their roster.

Olsen was denied normal access to the broadcast crew because the Vikings were an upcoming opponent on the Panthers’ schedule.

Brady’s potential 10 percent ownership stake in the Raiders has been kept in limbo

These extraordinary rules for this unusual circumstance could complicate Brady’s offer to become a limited affiliate of the Raiders.

A deal for Brady to become a 10 percent co-owner of the team has not yet been finalized. It has been more than a year since reports surfaced that the former quarterback had agreed to buy a stake in the Raiders.

Brady’s bid for the team is currently under review by the league’s finance committee.

If the commission approves Brady’s ownership stake, at least 24 of the league’s 32 owners must agree.
