From one hands-on owner to another, Dallas Cowboys ‘ Jerry Jones isn’t bothered in the least that new Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady spends time in the Raiders coaching booth when he’s not calling games in his second season as a FOX broadcaster.

“I’m not at all concerned about it,” Jones said Friday on Dallas’ 105.3 FM The Fan , according to The Athletic ‘s Jon Machota. “… I don’t think too much of it being a competitive issue. I’m OK with Brady in the booth.”

Brady caused a bit of a stir among fans and some NFL personnel after ESPN cameras caught him sitting in the Raiders coaches box with a headset on during Monday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers . ESPN sideline reporter Peter Schrager revealed Brady regularly talks with Las Vegas offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and “go through the game plan” together each week.

Of course, Brady wasn’t covering the Chargers-Raiders game and was attending in his role as Las Vegas’ new minority owner after purchasing a 10-percent minority stake from majority owner Mark Davis in May 2023. The deal was initially delayed due to concerns from other NFL owners about his discounted price, but a revised agreement split it into two 5-percent stakes going to Brady and millionaire business partner Tom Wagner . The NFL has since implemented restrictions on Brady’s role as a FOX broadcaster, including limiting his involvement in pregame production meetings and attending other team facilities.
