Two irresistible offers are on the table for Tom Brady to remain involved in the NFL, but he can only choose one. The legendary quarterback is close to becoming a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. At the same time, he has a lucrative offer to become one of the highest-paid television broadcasters in history.
The Las Vegas Raiders are valued at $6.7 billion by Forbes, making them one of the most expensive franchises in the NFL. If Tom Brady decides to become a part-owner, he will be subject to a significant number of restrictions imposed by the NFL.
"Brady would not be permitted to be in another team's facility, would not be permitted to witness practice and would not be permitted to attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually," ESPN reported.
One of the reasons Brady might be hesitating to enter the business as an owner is the high likelihood of not being able to have with players, coaches, and staff.
"The lack of access to coaches and players before games could be the most severe restriction; those meetings, at which a broadcast crew meets with the matchup's head coaches and key players, are often a lifeblood of insight for the telecast."
Million-Dollar Contract for Tom if He Chooses to Appear on TV
The seven-time Super Bowl champion is also not losing sleep over not being a part-owner of the Raiders. FOX is offering him a $375 million contract to be part of the game broadcasts. Despite lacking previous on-camera experience, it is assumed that he will be a draw for NFL fans to follow the broadcasts.
Tom Brady's Roast
Tom Brady was the subject of a roast in the Netflix parody, where one of the jokes he received was about the alleged theory that he "deflated balls" to throw better.
The New England Patriots legend commented ironically that the NFLspent millions investigating whether that theory was true.
"The NFL spent $20 million and found it was 'more probable than not' that I was 'generally aware' that someone may have deflated my footballs," Brady said during the instantly controversial roast.
"You could have just given me the $20 million and I would have just told you I f****** did it."
