Tom Brady Elated to Walk in the Tough Path of Shannon Sharpe and Not Michael Jordan Amidst Rising Demand From All Quarters to Bolster His $300,000,000 Net Worth

Tom Brady is still enjoying an eventful year post-retirement this February. The 7X Super Bowl champion has a lot of ventures lined up ahead of him for his post-retirement plan. Just like NBA legend Michael Jordan, Brady’s latest venture came with his decision to invest as a minority stakeholder in the Las Vegas Raiders. Back in 2010, Jordan went on to invest $275 million to become a majority stakeholder in the Charlotte Hornets. 

While the investment from Brady in the Raiders is yet to be approved by the league, he recently talked about another venture that will further boost his own $300 million net worth. And it is a venture that he has already agreed to be a part of since last year, just like how ex-NFL star Shannon Sharpe pursued after his retirement from the league.

Tom Brady to tread on the Shannon Sharpe path

Back in 2016, sports columnist Skip Bayless left ESPN’s ‘First Take’ to join FS1 as the co-host of the show ‘Undisputed’ along with Shannon Sharpe. And ever since, viewers and critics have widely acclaimed the duo as top analysts of the NBA and the NFL. Recently, Sharpe made his exit from the show after seven years. And Tom Brady is looking forward to starting his own 10-year $375 million broadcasting deal with Fox starting in 2024.

During a recent conference in Miami, Brady talked about how he was excited about starting a new journey as an analyst for the sport he played for 23 seasons. He talked about “going into a new arena” where he has to “learn a different skill set” that will differ from making passes on the field as a signal caller. Brady said that he is looking forward to teaching his fans “something that I have maybe a little knowledge on “

While Brady is gearing up for his broadcasting career, fans are still speculating about his possible second comeback as a player-owner of the Raiders. While the league rules do not allow owners to play for their club, many fans believe Brady could follow Michael Jordan’s decision he took with the Wizards back in 2001.

Michael Jordan’s second comeback at the age of 38

After retiring from a successful career with the Chicago Bulls, the NBA legend joined the Washington Wizards as the VP of basketball operations, as well as a minority stakeholder in 2000. But just a year later in 2001, Jordan made a decision to make a comeback on the court. Just like in the NFL, the NBA does not allow owners to be players in the league. So Jordan decided to sell his 10 percent stake in the team to play for the Wizards. He went on to play for the Wizards for two years, before finally retiring for good in 2003. Despite being 38 and 39 years of age back then, Jordan had a decent record, averaging 21.2 points, 4.4 assists, and 5.9 rebounds per game in 142 games. 

And now, fans believe that Tom Brady could follow the same if the situation with Jimmy Garoppolo‘s injury recovery at the Raiders does not see the day of light before the start of the new season. Do you think Brady could make another comeback? Let us know in the comments below.
