Brady shown in Raiders' coaching booth on MNF

LAS VEGAS -- Raiders minority owner Tom Brady was seen in the team's coaching booth for the first time during the first quarter of Monday night's 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Brady, who was shown on the telecast wearing a headset, has been a helpful resource for the team since he was approved as a minority owner last year.

Coach Pete Carroll and first-time general manager John Spytek, who was in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers front office when the seven-time Super Bowl champion was their starting quarterback, have consulted with Brady on roster decisions during the offseason. Spytek told ESPN in April that Brady's voice has been "invaluable."

And first-year Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly told ESPN he talks with the future Hall of Famer two to three times per week, going through film and the game plan for the week.

Brady also is an NFL broadcaster for Fox.

Recently, the NFL relaxed some of its restrictions for him in that role, including allowing him to take part in production meetings -- when a broadcast crew meets with that game's head coaches and key players -- this season. He must take part in those meetings remotely, and he isn't allowed to attend practices at team facilities.

After his 23-year playing career, Brady made his Fox debut last season on a 10-year, $375 million contract that he originally agreed to in 2022. But the limitations were put on Brady because of his agreement to become a partial owner of the Raiders, a deal that was approved by league owners in October.

Brady is slated to call Week 3's Dallas Cowboys-Chicago Bears game. The Raiders play the Bears the following week.
