Tom Brady’s Reported Salary for His Fox Sports Contract Has Leaked

Once the legendary quarterback transitions into the booth, he’ll earn a hefty payday.

Tom Brady and Fox Sports have agreed to a deal that will make the seven-time Super Bowl champion the network’s lead NFL analyst following his retirement, Fox announced on Tuesday morning. 

The quarterback’s new contract with the network will reportedly be the most lucrative in sports television in history.

According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Brady has agreed to a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox, earning him an average of $37.5 million annually.

Brady’s new deal more than double the contracts of CBS Sports’s Tony Romo and ESPN’s Troy Aikman, who previously set the bar among NFL analysts. The two former quarterbacks earn $18 million average annual salaries at their respective networks.

Although Brady will earn a massive paycheck when he decides to hang up his cleats for good, it remains unclear when that day will come. The 44-year-old briefly retired following the 2021 season but announced his return to Tampa in March. He will enter his 23rd NFL season this fall.

Fox executive chair and CEO Lachlan Murdoch said it’s “entirely up to” Brady when he decides to permanently retire from football and join Fox. The quarterback himself made clear on Twitter that his primary focus for the 2022 season remains on the field with the Buccaneers.

Although that may be the case, it might not be long until Brady is calling games on NFL Sundays.
