Former NFL star Tom Brady has reportedly put his deal with FOX on hold to pursue a career in stand-up comedy.
That's according to Radar Online, who claim that Brady's reasoning for delayed his start with FOX until the 2024 NFL season is to pursue career interests elsewhere. Brady has already agreed a 10-year $375million deal to work as an analyst for FOX, but he will sit out of proceedings next season.
He won't start until 2024, giving him time to enjoy his retirement and spend some much needed time with his children. Seemingly comedy is also on his agenda, although the report has stated his 'inner circle' are trying to talk him out of it.
