NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is dismissive of the idea that there might be a conflict of interest between Tom Brady’s dual roles as FOX broadcaster and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Goodell recently told CNBC Sports’ Alex Sherman it is up to teams how much they reveal in pre-game production meetings with broadcasters like Brady.
“Teams have the right to say whatever they want to. They don’t have to disclose any information if they think it’s a conflict of interest,” Goodell told Sherman.
Goodell continued, “Teams don’t need to say anything. Sometimes they don’t say anything to somebody who’s not [a minority owner]. We get a lot of former players that are in [broadcast meetings] that are close to their former teams. I think our teams are pretty smart about saying, ‘I’m not sharing something with him.'”
The overlap between Brady’s two jobs has come under scrutiny since he was spotted wearing a headset in the Raiders coaching box during a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
