Brady Signed Post-Retirement Contract With Fox Sports
While Tom Brady's time as a player is over, he is not leaving the football world entirely.
Last March, Brady signed a post-retirement deal with Fox Sports to be a color commentator.
He signed a 10-year contract for $375 million to be the network's newest analyst, competing with former quarterbacks Tony Romo and Robert Griffin III on CBS and ESPN, respectively.
Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced that the seven-time Super Bowl champ would move to the broadcast booth when his time in the NFL ended.
"Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives," Fox Sports said in a statement to the New York Post at the time.
With Super Bowl LVII just two weeks away, it is unclear whether Brady will be on camera for Fox, who will broadcast the game.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said he greatly appreciated Brady's leadership as quarterback.
"I have always had the utmost respect for Tom Brady as a football player, as a winner and as a person," he said.
Bowles added that it wasn't until Brady joined the team in 2020 that he really appreciated him as a teammate.
"Even before I became head coach, we communicated often and had a strong relationship built on mutual respect and desire to win," he said. "That connection only grew over this past season as we fought to get the most out of our football team."
