NFL Insider; Tom Brady may Renege on His 10-Year Contract Extension with Fox Sports
The absurd $375 million contract Fox Sports gave Tom Brady for the next ten years may be something he’s considering turning down. He may claim he doesn’t want to participate in the agreement, which has yet started.
The greatest quarterback in NFL history is contemplating leaving, and Fox Sports executives have little power to stop him. By the end of 2024, Tom Brady intends to return to full-time employment with Fox Sports and begin his media career after a retirement period that he is enjoying.
For now, he represents Fox Sports’ largest wager in its battle with rival networks for NFL coverage. Andrew Marchand of The New York Post reports that Tom Brady is already considering alternative possibilities, including giving up on the media.
“It was at 51 percent that he’s going to do it to 49 that he’s not going to do it with the reasoning it’s so much money he’ll try it for a year. However, I’ve talked to a couple people recently close to Brady and I kind of feel like I’m going 49 percent chance he does it, 51 percent chance he doesn’t. He doesn’t want to travel that much – obviously he’s going to go private.”
Marchand mentioned this when talking to The Big Lead.
Marchand continues by contrasting himself with other outstanding quarterbacks who also chose to pursue a career in the media. However, he pointed out what made Brady unique from the others. For the illustrious quarterback, dedication is everything. He will only perform if he feels completely capable of doing so.
“I think Brady’s a guy who, if he’s in, he’s all-in, so he’s not going to be showing up day of games like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do sometimes. He’s going to be there early if he’s going to do it. So it’s going to be a four-day event, again, cry me a river for that type of money for five and a half months.”
