Tom Brady signed a 10-year contract with Fox Sports worth $375 million.

Last year, when Tom Brady announced his retirement after tailing an NFL record of 490 completions for 4,694 yards, fans have been waiting impatiently to hear about his next venture. And with all the buzz around the Fox Sports contract with the legend for the broadcasting job, the timeline has finally been released.

The former NFL legend is likely to start his new job at Fox Sports in September this year, in 2024. He would be joining as the No. 1 analyst at the channel, replacing the prominent Greg Olsen from the top booth. Brady has enlightened the fans on everything concerning his job in the latest edition of his podcast, Let’s Go! on SiriusXM, with co-hosts Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald.

The former New England Patriots quarterback said as he shared how hard he has been working to get himself ready for this opportunity and also prepare for the mental as well as emotional challenges on the way:

I’ve got a big broadcasting job that’s going to start in September,”It’s something that’s new, it’s outside of my comfort zone. And I’m excited to get out there and try something and see how I do.

Before bidding goodbye to the football field, the five-time Super Bowl MVP had finalized everything post-retirement. He signed a 10-year contract with Fox Sports worth $375 million, which will begin in September 2024.

Now that the official timeline has been released, the quarterback is quite excited to start this next phase of his life. He then said on the podcast:

There’s an exciting part about that for me, which when I get out of bed in the morning, man, I’m ready to go. And I wanna create a to-do list. And, OK, these are the things I’m gonna do today and this is how I ultimately want to actualize my potential in this area of my life. 

Tom Brady’s Life After Retirement: Family, Loss, and Romance

After retiring in February 2023, Brady didn’t share an update on his contract with Fox Sports, until now in January 2024. It was because the legendary quarterback had decided to take some time off after his retirement. Brady wanted to enjoy life beyond the football field. And a major part of that is his three children, with whom the NFL legend spends most of his time.

During this time, the former NFL quarterback also had to suffer the loss of his family dog, who had been with him and his former wife Gisele Bundchen‘s last happy years of marriage.

As for Brady’s romantic life, there have been quite the rumors of the legend dating Russian model Irina Shayk. She is the first woman that Brady’s name is associated with, since his divorce in 2022. The two are often spotted together by the paparazzi, though they try to be discreet.
