“Thanks for Ruining the Trajectory of My Career”: Tom Brady’s Former Rival Is Not Too Keen on QB’s Awaited Presence

Tom Brady has entertained the NFL world for 23 seasons on the field. But as he closes the curtains on his legendary NFL career, fans find hope in the possibility of his next move. While the dust around the QB’s second retirement announcement has barely settled, he’s already sparked excitement with his return to the game.

Brady is on his way to becoming a key figure in the sportscasting industry. After reportedly bagging a $375 million contract with Fox Sports, his future as an analyst looks promising. But, apparently, not everyone is over the moon for Brady.

This former rival offered a remark on Tom Brady

Mark Sanchez, Brady’s former divisional rival, had some thoughts on the matter. The former Jets QB was in the same division as Brady when the latter was with the Patriots. Sanchez is now a Fox analyst.

Speaking on the ‘Dan Patrick Show’, he quipped, “Thanks for ruining the trajectory of my career for the second time, Tom. I get drafted to the guy’s division, now he’s gotta come to FOX and ruin everything here. I can’t get away from the guy.” The former QB explicitly followed his statements up with a clarification that he was only joking.

Sanchez exclaimed that Brady is the best of all time while praising his career. The analyst also hoped that TB12 wouldn’t be too annoyed by the hazing Fox rookies go through. So, when can we expect to see Brady suited up for the booth?

Brady’s return will be highly anticipated

The transition from the field to the booth is a common path for retired players. But Brady’s presence in the broadcasting world is a game changer. The QB has arguably more experience and accolades in comparison to his peers. But despite the vastness of his knowledge, the role is not something to be taken lightly.

In light of criticism certain retired players are facing for their analysis of games, the spotlight will be brighter than ever. It’s not just his articulation that matters. Brady’s opinions will now be open for all to hear. In his extensive career, TB12 has seen his share of criticism. Now, he’ll be the one in the chair. With the power to sway perception and call games, the QB has quite the task ahead of him. TB12 will not transition in time for the upcoming Super Bowl game. But next season holds the potential promise of hearing the seven-time title holder’s thoughts in a prominent broadcasting role.
