Tom Brady’s next move: QB ‘will soon begin 10-year, $375m Fox contract’

Tom Brady is ready for the TV booth after ending his 23-year NFL career on Wednesday morning.

The 45-year-old retired last year, reversing his decision and continuing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 season.

He faced questions about whether the U-turn was the right move with difficulties both on and off the pitch, but has now withdrawn for good.

But fans can look forward to seeing him long after the seven-time Super Bowl champion has already signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX Sports ahead of the so-called finale of his career.

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch revealed in May of last year that the now-former Bucs quarterback will be Fox Sports’ top NFL analyst going forward.

“We are delighted that Tom has made the commitment to join the Fox team and we wish him all the best in the coming season,” said Murdoch, the 50-year-old son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion revealed his retirement in an emotional video on social media.

the new york post office reported that the deal is for a decade and will pay Brady a record $375 million, the largest contract in sports broadcasting history.

Brady told Stephen A. Smith that he is “very much looking forward to” taking on his broadcasting role only this week.

“I’m really looking to learn from everyone I can talk to,” the NFL legend said in his weekly. ‘Go!’ podcast.

The 45-year-old expressed his excitement about moving into the future TV booth last year.

‘I have the opportunity to be in a job in the future where I can travel and learn from all the other people I’ve admired and looked up to and different organizations and different people.

‘So it’s exciting for me too. I feel like the opportunity to do that is something I look forward to whenever that time comes around.’

Brady’s final season in the NFL ended when the Bucs were eliminated by the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.

“What I want to tell you is this,” Smith said. He plays soccer another year, two years, whatever. You retire, it’s your business, we’ll celebrate you no matter what.

‘When you walk in that booth, Tom Brady, I’m here to tell you that you’re going to teach people a lot. And I’m not talking about football. When you’re in that booth on a weekly basis, it won’t be just to throw footballs anymore.

‘You’re going to be talking and when you’re talking trust me when I tell you that everyone is going to listen. Make no mistake about it. You’ll be amazed at the kind of profound impact you’re going to have.

“Get ready for it, look forward to it, because it’s going to happen.”

Brady responded to Smith: ‘I’m sure that’s one of the best things you feel, too. When you hear that, you know, when you walk the streets, wherever you are, I’m sure people really appreciate that you’re a part of what their tomorrows are. You are also educating them.

‘There’s so much to learn, there’s so much to teach, you know, it’s constantly evolving. Trust me as much as I think I’m willing to teach people, I’m really looking to learn.’
