However, there were several restrictions placed on the seven-time Super Bowl champion for being a minority owner in the league. Brady wasn't allowed near other team facilities and practices. Last Wednesday, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed that these restrictions will be lifted for the upcoming season.

On Monday, Tom Brady shared his perspective on the whole situation during an interview with PFF's Chris Collinsworth.

"I would listen to press conferences all week anyway," Brady said. "Whether it's the weekly, you know coaches press conference that he has to do on a Wednesday or Friday, I listen to that. The players all speak to the media. So, it's not like you're forcing players to answer a question. You know, I've always felt like if I ask a question, they don't want to answer it, I have no problem.

"The only thing I want to do is get insight into the game, to help the viewers understand the game a little bit better. I also, I think the important point...you want a great game. You want both teams to perform very well. I don't want to be on a broadcast and negative about people. I want to showcase the great parts about every organization. Cause I love the NFL, I love the sport. If I can communicate that in a positive way to the viewers, great." (Timestamp- 11:45)
