Tom Brady finally addresses $375 million job as the broadcaster heads into year 2 with FOX
Tom Brady firmly put a rest to rumors about his potential departure from FOX Sports. He wants to continue his broadcasting career beyond his current 10-year, $375 million contract.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion started his journey with FOX Sports as their lead NFL analyst. His partnership with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt has already captured viewers' attention during his rookie season in the booth.
Brady appeared on "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd on Wednesday, and addressed the swirling rumors about his potential early exit from FOX Sports.
"I don't know where it comes from, I know it always says 'sources close to Brady or whatever.' But I've had the best time at Fox," Brady said. "I got nine years left on my deal and maybe longer, you never know. If Fox wants me, then I want to go. We'll just keep going because it's been really fun thus far."
Tom Brady is preparing for his most significant broadcasting assignment yet. The NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and Commanders in Philadelphia, followed by Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. He'll join forces with Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews, Tom Rinaldi and Mike Pereira to cover these marquee events.
Growth and new perspectives in Tom Brady's broadcasting journey
Tom Brady was vocal about his process in the booth.
"Behind the scenes there's so many incredible people that bring the NFL to life," Brady shared during the interview. "I've watched so many games from the sideline view and now I'm sitting up there in the booth and seeing it from a different perspective and I've loved the whole process and diving into all these different teams."
While questions linger about Brady's dual role as a broadcaster and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, his enthusiasm for broadcasting remains clear. The NFL's restrictions on his access to opposing team facilities don't seem to have dampened his spirit.
