Tom Brady’s broadcasting career could be over before it ever really had chance to begin – that’s according to a report from an NFL insider anyway.
The NFL legend is in his rookie season of a 10-year, $375million contract as an announcer for Fox Sports.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner has received mixed reviews on his performance in the booth after being heavily slated for his debut.
And the 47-year-old’s task only became more challenging last month when he was finally approved as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, leading the league to slap him with a multitude of restrictions which heavily affect his Fox duties.
Those restrictions could severely impact Brady’s future in broadcasting as the potentially drain his passion for the role, Pro Football Talk insider Mike Florio has claimed.
“There’s an interesting theory that’s making the rounds in league circles, because there had been teams that have said to the league, ‘We want Tom Brady to be involved in the production meetings.’ And through that push and pull because the league says no, no, no, no, no exceptions even if you waive it. It doesn’t matter,” Florio said on John Ourand’s ‘The Varsity’ podcast.
