Despite reports suggesting Brady could step away after just one season in the broadcast booth, Yee confirmed Brady is committed to fulfilling his 10-year, $375 million contract with the network.
"Tom has had a tremendous amount of fun working with FOX this year, and he's really excited about the future with Fox and his growth on their team," Yee said. "And this year was the first year of a long relationship." Sounds like Brady is finding his rhythm, and if there's one thing Brady's known for, it's not quitting when things get tough. If anything, this type of challenge might only fuel his desire to prove himself in a new role.
Brady, now also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, has taken on a more prominent role in the NFL's inner circle, with some suggesting the combination of ownership and broadcasting could create a conflict of interest.
But according to Yee, that's not the case. Brady, who has always thrived on competition and perfection, is not letting the extra responsibilities get in the way of his FOX duties. The guy has always been about finding the best version of himself, and this could just be another avenue for that.
Yes, Brady's rookie season in the booth has had its growing pains. He's made mistakes, found his voice, and likely been hard on himself along the way. But don't expect him to shy away from this challenge. If anything, Brady's the type of guy who doubles down on the tough stuff.
So, for now, it's full steam ahead with FOX, and Brady's intent on sticking around for the long haul — no matter what the skeptics say. He's not just playing the game anymore; he's re-writing the playbook.
