Fox Sports announced on Tuesday that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will become his leading NFL analyst after his retirement on the field and will reportedly receive a record deal when that day comes.
According to Andrew Marchand from New York PostBrady and Fox Sports have agreed on a $ 375 million 10-year deal that will take effect after the quarterback’s retirement.
Earlier on Tuesday, Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy said Brady was expected to earn about $ 200 million in a long-term contract with an annual salary of between $ 20 million and $ 25 million, surpassing CBS and Troy’s $ 18 million mark from ESPN Aikman. Now, according to Marchand, Brady will reportedly have an AAV that will double more than Romo and Aikman.
Brady retired in February, but his departure from the NFL lasted just six weeks before confirming his return for the 2022 season.

In the last two months, I realized that my place is still on the field, not in the stands. That time will come. But not now. I love my teammates and I love my supportive family. They do their best. I’m back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Incomplete LFG business pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
Ben Wolin from Boston Globe announced that the wheels are moving behind the scenes so that the legendary quarterback can join the Miami Dolphins front office, where he will help appoint longtime New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Peyton to lead the team.
Once Bucs found a new starting quarterback, he would essentially help make a deal for himself and then return as an active player for Miami.
The plan fell apart when former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its teams for alleged racial discrimination in their hiring and firing practices.
Brady and Co. they realized that the optics of hiring a white CEO and white coach after Flores’ case would provoke much criticism, prompting him to decide whether to return to Tampa Bay or retire, according to Wolin.
So the seven-time Super Bowl champion is back at the Buccaneers, but how long he will remain an active player remains a mystery.
Based on his performance, it is possible that the 44-year-old born in California will play for a long time.
Brady remained one of the best players in the NFL in 2021. He completed 67.5% of his league top throws in yards (5316) and touchdowns (43) and 12 interceptions, while playing all 17 games for the Bucs. He finished second in the MVP vote after Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.
He will become a free agent after the 2022 campaign, so the next off-season will have a chance to decide whether to stay in Tampa, sign with a new team like Miami or head to the broadcast booth.
He will make heaps of money, regardless of his final decision.
