Tom Brady ‘Very Close’ to Career End But Won’t Join $375 Million Worth Fox Sports if Bucs Don’t Make it to Post-Season

Posted on by Jack Marks

Tom Brady will be making a surprise comeback to play for his beloved New England Patriots. The 44-year-old celebrity is currently attempting to have fun while getting ready for his next performance. He is developing a second profession as an entrepreneur in addition to playing for the Buccaneers this next season.

Even Brady says he doesn’t know when he’ll be leaving football after a laughably brief 40-day retirement earlier this year. He just agreed to a $375 million, 10-year contract with Fox Sports to serve as the network’s primary NFL pundit, but he won’t begin doing so until after his playing career is over.

Brady would earn his seventh world title if the Buccaneers triumph in Super Bowl LVII in February, and his second in as many seasons with Tampa Bay. Brady and Fox also talked about Brady’s future in broadcasting. When asked if his future non-playing career would start in the 2022 postseason if the Buccaneers miss the playoffs, he answered that it would not.

Tom Brady clears the air surrounding his Fox Sports career

“No,” Brady said.

“I want to focus on football. I really want to commit to this year to be as best as I possibly can.”

That’s a reasonable answer. Brady could also not want to be required to watch and provide commentary on postseason games in which his team didn’t advance because he is a notoriously horrible loser.

Brady wasn’t asked exactly if he’d be a part of Fox’s Super Bowl coverage if the Buccaneers don’t make it, but his response to the more general question certainly holds true in the same way. He prefers to concentrate on football rather than a hasty start to his employment with Fox.
