The report states that Brady will now be able to attend Fox’s production meetings with coaches and star players this season, something he was not allowed to partake in last year.
Those restrictions were lifted for the Super Bowl last season; however, Brady will still not be allowed to attend team practices.
In Brady’s first season, play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt would inform the seven-time Super Bowl champ about what was discussed in the meetings to keep his superstar analyst in the loop.
Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, an AFC West rival of Brady’s Raiders, had previously pushed for the NFL to restrict Brady’s access to the teams, fearing that it could give Brady too much information and potentially provide the rival Raiders a competitive advantage.
The production meetings help reveal nuggets for the television audience and potential game plans that teams have for that upcoming game.
Brady will start this season with the Giants-Commanders game on Fox in the 1 p.m. ET window.
