After announcing his retirement from the NFL last Wednesday, Tom Brady revealed he plans to take a gap year from any job related to football and won’t begin his broadcast gig with Fox until the fall of 2024.
Speaking on Monday with soon-to-be Fox colleague Colin Cowherd on “The Herd,” Brady said he met with Fox executives last week and now intends to take the next 18 months or so to focus on other aspects of his life before making his highly anticipated debut in the booth with the network.
“Decompression is important. You’re on this really crazy treadmill/hamster wheel for a long time, loving the journey and loving the moment, but at the same time there’s a daily fight,” Brady told Cowherd. “I think for me, I want to be great at what I do and even talking last week with the people at Fox Sports and the leadership there allowing me to start my Fox opportunity in the fall of 2024 is something that’s great for me.
