Newly-retired Tom Brady will take a year off before working for Fox Sports. Last year he agreed to a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox.
Brady said, “Decompression’s really important. You’re on this really crazy treadmill, hamster wheel for a long time, loving the moment and journey. At the same time, it’s a daily fight. I have appreciation for so many people that are so committed every day to showing up, to put their max effort into their life and career. For me, I want to be great at what I do — talking, even last week, with the people at Fox Sports, and the leadership there, allowing me to start my Fox opportunity in 2024, something that’s great for me.”
He went on to say, “I want to be great at what I do, and that always takes some time and strategizing and learning and growing and evolving, and I have so many people I can rely on that can support me in that growth too. It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to take some time and really become great at my Fox broadcasting job, which I’m really looking forward to, but also catching up on other parts of my life that need some time and energy.”
His delayed entry means Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will be back as the top team next season.
Tom Brady says he’ll start his FOX Sports broadcasting career in the Fall of 2024.
