Tom Brady’s agent confirms he will remain with Fox Sports for the duration of his contract, despite his involvement with the Raiders.
Las Vegas: So, it looks like Tom Brady is sticking around with Fox Sports. His agent, Don Yee, just confirmed that he plans to honor his big contract with them, which is worth a whopping $375 million over ten years. He’s got nine years left after this season, so he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Brady has been having a blast working with Fox this year. Yee mentioned that he’s really excited about what’s ahead and feels like this is just the start of a long relationship with the network.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit tricky. Brady is also involved with the Raiders as a part-owner, and that’s causing some potential conflicts. He’s set to call the playoff game between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders, but he’s also been helping the Raiders look for a new head coach.
There’s a bit of a gray area here. If the Lions keep winning, Brady will be calling their games, which raises questions about how he can comment on their offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, without it looking like he’s playing favorites. It’s a tough spot to be in.
Brady can’t just waltz into other teams’ practices or meetings, thanks to NFL rules. But still, it’s hard to imagine him not mentioning Johnson’s game plan during the broadcast. It’s a fine line he’s walking, and it could lead to some interesting commentary.
Fox doesn’t seem too worried about this conflict, and neither does Brady. They’re both focused on the job at hand. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out in the coming weeks, especially if the Lions keep advancing in the playoffs.
