Tom Brady's collectibles from NFL swansong rack up more than Brock Purdy's $870,000 annual salary: Report
Tom Brady's last game in the NFL came against the Dallas Cowboys, in which his team lost 31-14. A report from 'Cllct' claims that Brady's jersey and pants from the game against the Cowboys were sold for over $1.4 million at two different auctions.
This sum is more than San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy's annual salary, and it goes on to show the prominence of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Brady's game-worn jersey was sold for $1.39 million last year, and his pants from the Cowboys game recently went for $89,100. It is a record for any pants, excluding those worn by Babe Ruth.
As per Spotrac, Brock Purdy earned an annual salary close to $900,000 last year. Despite being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Brock Purdy has emerged as one of the NFL's biggest success stories and is likely to receive a significant contract extension in the near future.
In 2024, Tom Brady's net worth is nearly $300 million, and he is currently waiting on the NFL's approval to become an official member of the Las Vegas Raiders' ownership group.
Tom Brady will be seen in the broadcast booth this year
Tom Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX Sports after his retirement from the NFL. Last year, he took a break from football, but he will be back in the broadcast booth this upcoming season.
His first game as Fox Sports' lead analyst will be in Week 1 when the Dallas Cowboys face the Cleveland Browns. Brady will call the game alongside Kevin Burkhardt, and many fans are already looking forward to it.
In the past year, Brady made some appearances on the herd with Colin Cowherd, where he shared much insightful knowledge about various aspects of the game. Brady is well known to prepare well for everything that he aims to do, and it will be interesting to see how he dissects the games on television. We have seen other ex-players become great TV analysts in the past, and it is expected that Brady will do the same.
