A sneak-peak into Tom Brady and FOX Sports’ massive deal
Tom Brady is undoubtedly the best player the NFL has ever seen. The California-born quarterback inspired many young talents with his exceptional gameplay. Throughout his 23-year career in the league, Brady led his teams to success. Now, as he has joined hands with FOX Sports, the network will surely benefit from him.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star signed the contract with the network before his last NFL season. It was reportedly a $375 million contract for 10 years. At that time, Fox Sports mentioned that the contract would start when Tom Brady ends his NFL career. With this deal, the 6-foot-4 player has become the highest-paid color analyst.
Before Tom Brady, it was former QB Tony Romo who held the highest deal. It was a $180 million deal with CBS for 10 years. Now, with a contract double that amount, the Hall of Famer has broken his record. Reports also suggested that after the contract, Brady would work with the lead broadcast team.
It’s worth noting that Tom Brady had to begin working with FOX Sports from this season itself. However, the 7-time Super Bowl winner decided to take 1 year off to spend some time with his family. Now, he’ll be beginning his work with the FOX network next year.
