Speaking with CNBC Sport's Alex Sherman in a column published Thursday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed the idea that there is a problem with Tom Brady holding roles as both a broadcaster and Raiders minority owner, and noted that teams are not required to share information with him.
"Teams have the right to say whatever they want to. They don’t have to disclose any information if they think it’s a conflict of interest," the commissioner told Sherman. "Teams don’t need to say anything. Sometimes they don’t say anything to somebody who’s not [a minority owner]. We get a lot of former players that are in [broadcast meetings] that are close to their former teams. I think our teams are pretty smart about saying, 'I’m not sharing something with him.'"
