First, pay attention to the influence of minority owner Tom Brady​

While Brady has only a 5 percent ownership stake in the Raiders, I’ve been told a significant verbal proviso from Davis in the agreement for Brady buying into the franchise was that he will weigh in heavily on the football operations side of the ledger. And a large part of that responsibility will be to help fix — or at the very least, brutally assess — all the moves surrounding the QB depth chart. Davis is looking for an honesty broker when it comes to cutting through the noise. Unlike Telesco, Pierce or anyone else offering an opinion, Brady doesn’t have the looming concern about his job status. He has the background to offer a weighty assessment and the freedom to be blunt about it. He doesn’t have to fear Davis’ vantage. And from what I’ve been told Davis absolutely wants to hear it from someone who isn’t worried about being fired.

As one source put it, “It’s not like we’ve had meetings with Brady sitting in them. But [Brady] isn’t a figurehead. [Davis] obviously respects him. This is what he wants and it’s the whole point [of Brady’s ownership]. [Brady] will impact some decisions, or, he’s going to impact Mark’s opinion. It’s the same thing at this point. It’s not like [the front office] doesn’t matter. But it’s not like Mark will blow Tom off when it comes to the quarterbacks and where it goes — not happening. It’s the opposite. Mark will ask him, ‘What do you think?’ and then that’s what Mark thinks. … What Tom will say about quarterbacks, I’d bet you that’s what goes. That’s what I think will happen. Maybe I’m wrong. We’ll see. But I think who [Tom] likes, Mark likes. We’ll see. It’s gonna be a ride.”



This has the potential to be a disaster in my opinion

Hope he make better recommendations than what Peyton & da Mannings been making.

Das my goat but it's on sight if I see his MegaMind ass for acting like Brian Callahan was some offensive rainman.

Not to mention the countless QBs he's cosigned that turn out to be 🗑️

Blatant conflict of interest.

He needs to either be an owner or broadcaster. Wouldn’t surprise me if the NFL makes him pick one at some point.
They already approved him. There’s no way to make him do anything unless you’re forcing him to sell his stake in the team. And they need about all of this before approving him so it’s a hard case to make unless he starts wylin.

I’d imagine when they approved him that they didn’t think he would be pulling blatant moves like this.

I don’t think he’s long for being a broadcaster anyways, so the problem will likely solve itself.

No... nobody does.. That's why we're asking you what exactly is the conflict? What info do broadcasters have that owners do not?
Inside information of a team going after a particular player in the offseason or the draft. A player that they could be discussing during the game they're covering.

That's what.

It's a reason why some were being vocal of him doing that sitdown interview with Mahomes.
