Tom Brady will be the color commentator for Fox Sports during both the upcoming NFC Championship Game, as well as the Super Bowl, and indicated Wednesday that he hopes there are many more big games to come during his budding broadcasting career.
Brady is merely getting to the end of the first season in a 10-year broadcasting contract with Fox, but the former star quarterback also was brought into the Las Vegas Raiders’ ownership group in 2024, and speculation had centered on that becoming his full-time focus.
On “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Wednesday, Brady scoffed at the notion that his television career would be finished just as it was getting started.
“I don’t know where it comes from. I know it always says, ‘sources close to Brady,’ or whatever. But I’ve had the best time at Fox,” Brady said. “I’ve loved every time going into the booth and working with such great people, starting with my partner Kevin (Burkhardt).”
A $375 million contract with Fox also gives Brady plenty of incentive to remain in the booth, and all indications are that the seven-time Super Bowl champion is set to return next season.
“It’s been a lot of growth for me in one year, and I really can’t wait to see what it looks like in year two, and way beyond that too,” Brady told Cowherd. “So I’ve got nine years left on my deal. Maybe longer, you never know. If Fox wants me, and I want to go, then we’ll keep going. Because it’s been really fun so far.”
