For anyone concerned about how Tom Brady would make some money once he retires from football you can now relax – the GOAT is going to be just fine as Fox Sports announced Tuesday that Brady will become their No. 1 NFL analyst once he retires and will call all the big games with Kevin Burkhardt on play-by-play
This came as a bit of a surprise because it happened on a Tuesday morning in May but the football world never stops and now you’ll never stop seeing Tom Brady on football Sundays – which is great for some football fans and probably not great for others who might have grown tired of Brady over the years.
Here’s some info on the move:
Source says Fox began negotiating with Brady around the time when Aikman started talks with Amazon and ESPN.

FOX Sports: “Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives.”

Tom Brady will step into richest pact in sports media history, sources tell @FOS.
Once he retires from NFL, Brady will earn $20 million to $25 million a year as No. 1 analyst for Fox.
Brady will surpass both Troy Aikman of ESPN and Tony Romo of CBS.https://t.co/gVEibX7NK3

That’s good news for Brady and I, for one, think it will be fun to hear the GOAT calling games. It’s tough news for Greg Olsen, though, as he was recently moved up to the No. 1 analyst role after Aikman left for ESPN.
NFL fans, meanwhile, had jokes about when Brady will assume this role.
2030 gonna be lit of Fox. https://t.co/2tmiyD0ISh

The good news for Greg Olsen (or whoever they have serve as analyst in the mean time) is that it could be 10+ years before Brady takes over. https://t.co/OFvnfay1Ka

By the time Tom Brady retires and joins FOX sports…
the year will be 2039. I will be 55, retiring from my own job, and Brady will look 15 years younger than me. https://t.co/5Rfwp0gbl0
