Tom Brady reveals exactly when he knew the time was right to retire
A week ago, on February 1st, 2023, Tom Brady announced his retirement via Twitter, stating that he was retiring "for good."
Speaking with Colin Cowherd on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on Monday, Brady said he knew last week that he wanted to retire and knew it was the right time.
Brady said:
"I think the finality of it was last week. The future is very hard to predict for all of us. I mean, nothing's really guaranteed. But I think you just take it day by day."
The retired player seems to have left the door open about maybe returning to the NFL as there is a little bit of uncertainty.
He continued:
"I don't try to make predictions. And sometimes I'm really good with certainty. And I think in this case, I'm good with a little bit of uncertainty, even though I have some great opportunities in my professional life ahead. And I'm really excited about those things. You know, at the same time, you got to create space for those things as well."
Tom Brady will take the 2023 season off and will make his Fox debut in 2024 as a broadcaster
Brady spoke with Cowherd about many other things in his appearance, such as when he will make his broadcasting debut with Fox Sports.
He said that he spoke with the people at Fox Sports last week and they will allow him to start his task there next year.
He said:
"I want to be great at what I do. I was talking even last week with the people at FOX Sports, and the leadership there allowing me to start my opportunity in the fall of 2024 is something that's great for me."
"So, (I'll) take some time to really learn, become great at what I want to do, become great at thinking about the opportunity and make sure I don't rush into anything."
Tom Brady tells @ColinCowherd that he'll begin his role as a broadcaster with FOX during the 2024 NFL season.
Like on the field, the former QB will likely be great in the booth as well. He retired with the most Super Bowl victories of any player in NFL history and has the most passing yards, attempts, completions, and wins.
