Tom Brady will begin his broadcasting career with FOX this year following his retirement in 2023.

The former NFL quarterback is also keen on acquiring a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and will likely become an owner at some point. He already has a deal in place with Mark Davis and only needs the league to greenlight it.

While there will be a conflict of interest, the NFL hasn’t placed any limitations on Brady in terms of his ability to call Raiders games or their top AFC West rivals’ games.

“Right now, Tom’s not an owner of the Raiders, and as we go into this year, Tom’s able to call any game on the schedule,” NFL Executive Vice President, Media Distribution, Hans Schroeder, told reporters during a conference call on Thursday, per ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio.

This does suggest that restrictions could be placed on Brady once his deal to purchase a stake in the Raiders goes through.

Why Tom Brady’s Deal Is Taking Time

The proposal has been held up for several reasons. It was suspected that Davis wanted to use equity to hire the seven-time Super Bowl winner, but the league took away any possibility of that happening.

There’s also the issue of Davis wanting to let Brady have 5-10 percent of the Raiders for a sum significantly lower than market value.

Several sources claim that Brady’s FOX gig is reason enough to prevent him from having a team.

Even if the deal isn’t done yet, Brady is affiliated with the Raiders and the paperwork has been signed. He just needs 23 other teams to open the door to him.

The former quarterback could also be prohibited from practices and production meetings around the league because of his affiliation with Las Vegas. That’s obviously not great for FOX.

Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens.
