Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has moved seamlessly into the broadcast booth after signing his 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox.
Part of the broadcast crew with Kevin Burkhardt, the surefire Hall of Fame quarterback, is part of Fox's Game of the Week most Sundays, and as we can imagine, that takes up a lot of his time.
But Brady has over ventures, such as being a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Considering he can't be in production meetings with the teams he's commentating on due to his Raiders ownership, it might just be a little too hard for the seven-time Super Bowl champ.
Sports media personality Dan Patrick has given his take and thinks that once this year's Super Bow is done, in which Brady will be commentating on, he will switch his attention firmly to the Raiders and leave his media duties behind.
“I just see Brady as a one-and-done,” Patrick said. “He does the Super Bowl, and then he decides that he’s going to be more involved with the Raiders. I just don’t see Tom one foot in, one foot out with the Raiders, he’s too much of a competitor.”

With the Raiders firing Antonio Pierce, Brady ideally would like input into where the organization goes next regarding their head coach, but right now, he has his media commitments with Fox during the playoffs, and as Patrick stated, he's one foot in and one foot out.
How long can Tom do business like that? Knowing the type of competitor he is, we can't imagine too long.
Will a decision be looming once the Super Bowl concludes?
