I’m lucky’ – Tom Brady finally breaks silence on NFL future as Raiders role risks $375million FOX deal

Tom Brady won’t be leaving the broadcast booth anytime soon

Brady took to Instagram on Wednesday to reflect on the 2024 NFL season and thank everyone for his first year in the booth.

And he made it clear that he’s here to stay, despite continuous questions over a conflict with his role as part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

“The 2024 NFL season is in the books,” Brady wrote.

“It certainly was a new challenge to undertake but I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of and learn from!

To all of my NFL on FOX teammates, producers, crew, and colleagues— you made this experience so special, and I’m grateful for the energy, dedication and perseverance you brought every week while always delivering the best broadcast for the fans who we serve week in and week out

“It’s always been about the TEAM and I’m lucky to be part of this great one at FOX.

“Wait… how long until Week 1???? LFG!! #OnToTheNextOne.”

Brady had signed a ten-year, $375 million deal with Fox, but there was speculation as to whether or not he would leave after his first year and spend his time and energy in helping rebuild the Raiders

A team that he partially owns and has played an active offseason role in the hiring of new General Manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll.

The next task at had will be recruiting a new quarterback, either a veteran through free agency or the NFL Draft.

Brady took his lumps and fair share of criticism in his first year with a microphone in his hand.

He didn’t exactly hit the ground running.

But as the season progressed, he improved/

His chemistry with play-by-play partner, Kevin Burkhardt, shined with each passing week.

Brady and Burkhardt were on the call for Super Bowl LIX and were applauded after the game for their efforts.

Calling the Super Bowl in your first year as a broadcaster is an extremely tall and difficult task.

Yet, Brady nailed it.

Which is somewhat hard to believe, considering how rocky it was for him in the beginning of the year.

And according to him, he’s not going anywhere.

While there’s no doubt he will be involved with the Raiders during the offseason, he seems to have really enjoyed his time in the booth.

At time his role was questioned given rules stipulate that owners cannot attend another team’s practice, attend in-person or virtual broadcast production meetings with coaches or players

And perhaps most significantly not publicly criticize officials and other clubs – something Brady had steered clear of until the opening moments of Super Bowl Sunday.

He will be plenty busy in the coming months ahead, as the Raiders have a myriad of questions surrounding the roster that need answers, most notably at the quarterback position.

Las Vegas owns the sixth pick in the draft, so it will be interesting to see if they take a quarterback that early.

While those questions may never fully get answered, we do know one thing.

Brady’s broadcasting career has only just begun.
