Tom Brady will take a gap year between the NFL and the broadcast booth.
Brady, who announced his retirement for the second time last week, appeared on FS1’s “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd on Monday, and revealed that he will be waiting to enter Fox Sports’ top NFL broadcast booth until the fall of 2024 after agreeing to a 10-year, $US375 million ($A545m) contract with Fox last year.

Brady, 45, retired last Wednesday via a selfie video shot on the beach after a 23-year NFL career and seven Super Bowl championships. This past season was a tumultuous one. While the Bucs won the NFC South, they went 8-9, Brady’s first losing season as a starter, and were beaten handily in the first round of the playoffs at home by the Cowboys.Brady also went through a divorce with model Gisele Bündchen, which was characterized as “traumatizing” by ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, after 13 years of marriage. Brady and Bündchen share a son and daughter together, and Brady also has another son from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
