Tom Brady retired from the NFL last week, and now, he has all the free time in the world. Today, he decided to post a thirst trap, and overall, people are feeling as if Brady is already bored. However, it doesn't seem as though Brady is rushing to cure that boredom. He has made it painfully clear that he has no plans for the immediate future. From dating to his professional life, Brady would rather just chill at home than really go out and do anything significant. After dedicating 23 years of his life to the NFL, it is very hard to blame him.
As many fans already know, Brady is set to make $37.5 million per year, over 10 years with Fox Sports. This will ultimately have him in the booth doing color commentary like Tony Romo. This is a job that is perfect for Brady, although it is clear that he is no intentions of starting soon. In fact, Brady recently gave Colin Cowherd an exact timeline of when he intends to take the job.
Tom Brady Speaks
Basically, you can expect Brady in the booth as of the Fall of 2024. This means he will be taking an entire year of NFL football off before embarking on this new career path. As he explained, he is doing this because he wants to be fully committed. "One thing about my career, whether that was when I was drafted by the Patriots or signed in free agency with the Bucs, I wanted to be fully committed," Brady said. "I never wanted to let people down -- I think my biggest motivator was that. So, even in the future I want to be great at what I do and that always takes some time and strategizing and learning and growing and evolving."
Overall, it is hard to blame Brady for this. Being a broadcaster is a whole lot of work, and you don't want to resent your job because you didn't take enough time off. Besides, this will make Greg Olsen happy as he seemed worried about Tom taking his job. For now, he can breath a bit easier knowing the job is still very much his.
