Bears' Ben Johnson not worried about Tom Brady production meeting - ESPN

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Ben Johnson isn't worried about divulging information that can be used against the Chicago Bears when he participates in production meetings with Tom Brady and the Fox broadcast crew ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The dual roles held by Brady, an analyst for Fox's «America's Game of the Week» and a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, have raised concerns over a conflict of interest.

Brady will be on the call from Soldier Field on Sunday, one week before the Raiders host the Bears at Allegiant Stadium in Week 4.

Johnson brushed off concerns over a competitive disadvantage for the Bears that could come from his conversations with Brady ahead of the game.

«I'm really not worried about it,» Johnson said. «I mean, we change week to week in terms of what we do. Schematically, he's going to be able to turn on the tape and see what everyone else in the world is seeing right now.

»Personnel-wise, really the same thing. It's not like I'm going to sit down with him and say, 'Hey, don't do this to Caleb Williams, or you might get it!' Like, there's not going to be any trade secrets that are going to be exchanged. But I really don't think it's that big of a deal, to be honest with you."

Brady was seen sitting in the coaches' booth wearing a headset during the first quarter of the Raiders' 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday.

The NFL said Tuesday in a statement that Brady is «prohibited from going to a team facility for practices or production meetings.» But the former star quarterback is allowed to sit in the coaches' booth, according to the league.

«There are no policies that prohibit an owner from sitting in the coaches' booth or wearing a headset during a game,» NFL
