In the competitive world of sports media, having an accurate mix of talent and expertise can do wonders. This is the reason why many channels turn to former NFL players as a way to build fresh perspectives. The same happened with one of the greatest quarterbacks. Tom Brady, the legendary former quarterback of the New England Patriots, has been the face of the NFL for years. Throughout his 23-season career, he won the Super Bowl championship seven times, making him the winningest quarterback of all time. But this time it?s not about his wins, it?s about – ?The Deal.?
Everyone wondered what Brady would do after his retirement from the NFL.?But guess what, he had already his plans set. Brady was offered a big role in a prestigious sports channel, soon after his retirement. During his span of career, he scored 649 touchdowns and 212 interceptions. He played for prolific 23 seasons and became a well-known name in the sports world. Probably, that was the reason he was offered this big project. But, recently according to Andrew Marchand, an NFL Sports Media writer, Brady is going to take a huge turn with the TB12 career.

According to Marchand, via brobible, several reasons could cause Brady to reconsider the $375 million Fox Sports deal. One major factor is the amount of travel involved. Brady’s family commitments or unwillingness to commit for 10 years may also influence his decision. Marchand emphasized Brady is a highly dedicated individual who only takes on projects he can fully commit to. Apart from these, there has been some speculation in recent times that Brady might unretire himself again to play for Miami Dolphins. After all, the rumors of his withdrawal have shocked fans and NFL insiders alike.
