“He can make money elsewhere”: Tom Brady Reportedly Quitting $375M Fox Contract as He Doesn’t Want to Travel That Much
Tom Brady is a sports superstar who has had a tumultuous private life in recent times. After his heartbreaking divorce from his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, Brady is trying to craft a new life for himself. He retired from his lifelong passion for football and got amazing offers from various corporations.
Brady was offered an insane deal by Fox worth a whopping $375 million. However, analysts now speculate that he might ditch the deal. He allegedly doesn’t like to travel a lot, and this job would have required him to do the same.
Tom Brady Might Quit His $375M Deal With Fox Sports
Tom Brady is at a pivotal moment in life. His beloved wife, Gisele Bundchen, left him after a bitter divorce. All this has understandably put him in a spot. However, the ace athlete has an iron heart and nerves of steel. He would bounce back, as is the hope of his millions of fans. Last year, Fox Sports CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced that the football legend would be the network’s No. 1 game analyst upon retirement from his National Football League career. Then, in February, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback announced his retirement from the NFL via Instagram.
According to reports, Fox Sports offered Tom Brady an astonishing $375 million deal to become the lead NFL analyst for the next ten years. But the corporate spokesman, Brian Nick debunked the amount offered to the NFL icon with a statement. He said,
“What has been reported isn’t an accurate description of the deal, and we have not released details beyond what was disclosed on our quarterly earnings call.”
As per several reports, the contract includes an impressive amount of $375 million, and Brady can earn a staggering 37.5 million dollars per season. But according to New York Post’s Andrew Marchland, Tom Brady is considering other options for his future, and he might quit this deal. He revealed this information on his weekly Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast.
Talking about Tom Brady’s whopping deal with Fox Sports, Andrew Marchland said,
“It was at 51 percent that he’s going to do it to 49 that he’s not going to do it with the reasoning; it’s so much money he’ll try it for a year. However, I’ve talked to a couple of people recently close to Brady, and I kind of feel like I’m going 49 percent chance he does it and a 51 percent chance he doesn’t. He doesn’t want to travel that much – obviously, he’s going to go private.”
The American writer continued,
“I think Brady’s a guy who, if he’s in, he’s all-in, so he’s not going to be showing up the day of games like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do sometimes. He’s going to be there early if he’s going to do it. So it’s going to be a four-day event, again, cry me a river for that type of money for five and a half months.”
After achieving enormous success in his sports career, Tom Brady’s contract with Fox Sports will be significant for his future, as he has officially retired from National Football League.
