After 23 long years, Tom Brady has officially walked away from the NFL. While the news of TB12’s retirement came with its fair share of doubts for the devoted fanbase, the same questions have followed through his post-retirement choices as well. Tom Brady and his love for competing is well documented, and maybe that’s why many can’t fathom TB12 being involved in the NFL, but not as the leading QB. Maybe that’s why he needs some practice.
If the last couple of years have shown us anything, Tom Brady is inseparable from the NFL. Even his first retirement didn’t last for too long, but Fox Sports was quick to pick up the opening and rope Brady in for an analyst role. Since then Brady has been pushing back his tenure with Fox Sports, and preparation seems to be the biggest concern for the 7x Super Bowl champion. Putting aside these concerns, TB12 is attempting to get in as many reps as possible, and his recent endeavor just solidifies that point.
Preparing for the next chapter

Fox Sports and Tom Brady agreed to a 10-year, $375 Million contract. However, Brady wasn’t so keen on rushing along with the process and wanted to organize life post-retirement, pushing his commitment to 2024. TB12’s decision to enjoy his retirement for a year paved the way for the naysayers to question the legitimacy of the deal, and whether Brady will actually honor the contract.
Since then, the $300 Million NFL legend has opened up on the doubts surrounding his Fox Sports tenure, and the reasoning does make perfect sense. “I think for me, I want to be great at what I do. So I’ll take some time to really learn, become great at what I want to do, and become great at thinking about the opportunity and making sure I don’t rush into anything.”
And recent events suggest that Tom Brady has already started polishing his presentation skills.

Brady teamed up with Autograph to give back to the fanbase he has garnered over his illustrious career, and the 7x Super Bowl winner looked extremely comfortable in front of a camera. While Brady is busy getting reps in for his analyst role, the legendary QB also has a few other prospects in the works, and the possibilities will certainly end up ruffling some feathers in the NFL world.
Taking over the NFL world
In addition to being a pivotal part of Fox Sports, Tom Brady is also eyeing an ownership stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brady has already acquired a stake with the WNBA franchise, Las Vegas Aces, and the Raiders are next in line. However, the Fox Sports contract was expected to be a hindrance to Brady’s ambitions. Luckily enough for the Raiders, Brady has received Fox Sports’ blessings and there would be a conflict only if Brady held an authoritative position with Fox.

Ever since retiring, Brady has involved himself with many endeavors, but Fox Sports and Raiders seem to be the final pieces of his NFL legacy. With Brady at the helm, both Fox and the Raiders will get a plethora of NFL experience on their side, and Brady will continue ruling the NFL.
