Tom Brady Faces Broadcast Restrictions Over 10% Raiders Stake, October Approval Possible

Aug 29, 2024, 12:30 PM

Tom Brady, the former NFL quarterback, is facing significant restrictions in his role as a Fox broadcaster due to his potential ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. If Brady's bid to become a 10% minority owner of the Raiders is approved, the NFL will impose unique limitations on his broadcasting activities. These restrictions include no access to practices, team facilities, or production meetings, and he will not be allowed to criticize officials. The restrictions are effective immediately as his ownership bid is under active review, with possible approval by the league's team owners as soon as October. Fox officials reportedly remain unconcerned about these limitations, and the league's decision may be an attempt to compel Brady to choose between his broadcasting career and ownership aspirations.
