Tom Brady will be joining the Fox Sports broadcasting team in 2024 after his recent announcement of his second NFL retirement.

Brady went on to say that it is a great opportunity for him to "take some time" for the Fox Sports broadcasting job. Brady likened broadcasting to his football career, noting in his interview that it gives him a chance to "find success with people that believe in him."
The famed quarterback said his priority in the coming years is to spend time with his family, including preparations to do well as a broadcaster.
Brady announced his second NFL retirement after 23 seasons in the NFL, wherein he spent his first 20 seasons with the Patriots before retiring with the Bucs.

Brady agreed to a 10-year deal worth, $375 million contract with FOX Sports in May 2022. The deal deems him to be the network's lead NFL analyst immediately after his playing career.

The former quarterback played for the Patriots from 2000 to 2019 and joined the Buccaneers in 2020.
