After initially retiring from the NFL, Tom Brady agreed to become an NFL analyst, but that career path was put on hold when he returned to the league. While it was unknown when Brady would finally hang up his cleats for good, he was still going to be heavily involved in the sport once he did. “I get an opportunity to be in a job in the future where I get to travel around and learn from all the other people that I’ve looked up to and admired and different organizations and different people,” the future Hall of Famer said on his “Let’s Go” podcast on January 30, via People. On the prospect of being in the booth, Brady said “it’s really exciting” to consider his potential as an analyst. However, he remained vague about when he planned to retire.
Brady’s immediate future is unclear at the time, but his long-term plans are already cemented. In May 2022, the quarterback inked a 10-year deal with Fox Sports worth a whopping $375 million. As soon as Brady’s playing days are over, he would become the network’s number one NFL analyst and “also serve as an ambassador in respect to client and promotional initiatives,” per the New York Post.

When the lucrative deal was announced, sporstswriter Dan Le Batard bashed Fox’s decision. “They just gave $375 million to somebody who’s never said anything interesting,” he said on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz” in May 2022.
