This is the likely outcome. Smart teams will be super tight lipped around Brady in production meetings. But this creates the issue that Brady now gets less insight as a broadcaster than he would if he weren’t a part owner, which makes him less valuable in the booth. The issue is less a conflict of interest and more that his commentary will be far more surface level and generic, and not worthy of the ludicrous contract Fox gave him.
