While many are curious when his broadcasting career would start, he confirmed that he will debut aas brodcaster at the beginning of 2024 NFL season.

Brady said, “You’re on this really crazy treadmill/hamster wheel for a long time, loving the moment, loving the journey. At the same time, it’s a daily fight, and I have appreciation for so many people who are so committed every day to showing up, to putting their max effort into their life and their career.”

While many are awaiting for his new career, some are hesitant if he is the right man for the job. Especially with the recent conundrum involving the sharp and chraismatic analyst Greg Olsen. He works alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

Olsen’s great performance in the broadcast booth doesn’t guarantee that Fox will keep him in the lead broadcast team. A report from Si.com shared insight on how placing Brady on another time slot isn’t possible, considring that Fox has shelled out millions for his contract.

Moreover, Greg Olsen still has his time to build up his name further. Fox might consider raising his salary if they decide to keep Olsen beyond his contract. Olsen won’t even come close to Brady’s stature but the latter surely has some big roles to fill in.
