The 45-year-old announced his second and seemingly final retirement on Feb. 1, a year after his first.
“I’m sure I’m not playing anymore so I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to keep professing that because I’ve told people that many times,” Brady said. Sports illustrated.
“I’m looking forward to my temp job at my FOX next year. I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead of us with the Raiders — and we’re working on that along with the other various things I’m involved in professionally.”
Brady reportedly got the “blessing” from FOX to investigate investments in the Las Vegas Raiders.
