Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady has broken his silence on the rumors claiming he could potentially leave FOX at the end of the season.
Brady is about to close his first season as a football broadcaster and will be on the call for the biggest game of the 2024 campaign as he’s set to join partner Kevin Burkhardt in the booth for the network’s coverage of the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Unlike other commentators, the former Patriots and Buccaneers star is also a minority owner in the NFL, having bought into the Las Vegas Raiders.
The 47-year-old has been multitasking his two roles, something which has prompted assumptions of him choosing one over the other.
Given that he’s unlikely to relinquish his stake in the Raiders, there’s talk of him quitting FOX to avoid the apparent conflict of interest. However, Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated has shared a conversation he had with the erstwhile QB that suggests he plans on seeing his 10-year deal out.
“It’s been an awesome journey these last 18 months and I know I got another at least 9 years to go and hopefully more,” he told Traina on a conference call.

Tom Brady seems To Be Loving His New Job Despite The Restrictions Placed On Him By The NFL
Certainly doesn’t sound like TB has any plans to leave FOX, although he doesn’t have the freedom his fellow analysts enjoy because of his position as an owner.
Brady isn’t allowed to attend production meetings with coaches, players, and executives, where he’s the lead analyst, or even enter other teams’ facilities.
Still, it doesn’t appear that he has any qualms remaining with said network ahead of Super Bowl 59.
