“He’s Too Good”: Eli Manning Trusted Tom Brady to Choose Skill Over Money, but He Could Not Have Been More Wrong

Tom Brady’s retirement plans are as unpredictable as they could get. The seven-time Super Bowl champion announced his retirement in February this year and changed his mind only 40 days later. Brady also has a lucrative contract waiting for his post-retirement days as a broadcaster. However, former Super Bowl champion, Eli Manning, disagrees.

Tom Brady has plans with Fox Sports broadcasting after finally retiring from football. However, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning doesn’t think Brady will live up to his Fox contract. Eli Manning beat Tom Brady in two Super Bowls at the peak of TB12’s powers. So the younger Manning brother may know a thing or two about Brady’s mind.

Tom Brady signed an official contract earlier this year with Fox Sports network as a sports analyst and broadcaster. The 15x Pro Bowler is scheduled to appear in this year’s Super Bowl broadcaster’s box as a part of his $375 million 10-year contract. However, Eli thinks Tom Brady is “too good” to quit and become a broadcaster. Manning Jr. thinks Brady will rather be the contender for the Bowl than the announcer.

Eli believes that Tom Brady will continue playing

Tom Brady was having one of the worst seasons of his 20+ year career when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost three back-to-back matches against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Carolina Panthers, and the Baltimore Ravens. However, TB12 bounced with a comeback last-minute win against the LA Rams and also overcame the Seattle Seahawks in Germany.

Brady is currently in the last year of his Buccaneers contract and will officially be a free agent next year. Tampa Tom has made no announcements about his role next year. 2x Super Bowl champion Eli Manning thinks Tom Brady will keep his cleats on and TV is not going to be on his mind. “He’s not going into broadcasting,” Eli remarked. As for his former rival’s post-retirement plans, Eli said Tom Brady will probably just “enjoy life.”

Eli Manning and his brother Peyton Manning joined the world of broadcasting after retiring from the game. The two brothers host the Manning Cast broadcast of Monday Night Football, where they are joined by guests from varying fields. Brady himself has appeared more than once to talk about football. However, TB12 has the season to look forward to. Brady and the 5-5 Bucs face the 3-7 Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
