NFL’s Tom Brady Rules Are Back and Now Apply to Troy Aikman, Too
Aikman was involved in the Dolphins' GM and coach hires this offseason.
The NFL has extended its restrictions on team access to both Troy Aikman and Tom Brady for the upcoming season. Aikman, who serves as a consultant for the Dolphins and an analyst for ESPN's Monday Night Football, now falls under these rules for the first time. Brady, the Hall of Fame former quarterback for the Patriots and Buccaneers, continues to face the same limitations as last season.
Both men are able to attend production meetings virtually but cannot access team practice facilities or practices. They are permitted to conduct interviews with football personnel and players outside team facilities, including at their team hotel. Brady, who is entering his third season with Fox, has a 10-year, $375 million contract with the network.
The NFL's team owners voted unanimously to approve Brady's purchase of approximately 10% of the Raiders in October 2024, despite concerns about potential conflicts of interest. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has stated that the restrictions are in place to prevent any potential issues, such as the unauthorized sharing of information.
