TOM Brady brought down the curtain on his first Fox NFL season with a message to his fans on Instagram.
And the seven-time Super Bowl champion was very clear about his retirement stance after rumors he could call it quits.
Brady, 47, just completed the first of a 10-year Fox Sports deal that stands to pay him $375 million.
He was part of the Fox team which broadcast Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana this weekend.
More than 127 million Americans tuned in - making it the most-watched Super Bowl ever.
Brady appeared on Fox NFL Sunday on Bourbon Street alongside Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw.
He also bumped into former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Rob Gronkowski down there.
And then he took his seat in the broadcast booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt to call the game.
Brady reflected on his debut commentary season with a post on Instagram.
He shared a number of images from the year, including from the broadcast booth and with the likes of Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.
And the 47-year-old had a clear message about retirement rumors.
He wrote, "The 2024 NFL season is in the books.
"It certainly was a new challenge to undertake but I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of and learn from.
"To all of my NFL on Fox teammates, producers, crew, and colleagues—you made this experience so special.
"I’m grateful for the energy, dedication and perseverance you brought every week while always delivering the best broadcast for the fans who we serve week in and week out.
"It’s always been about the TEAM and I’m lucky to be part of this great one at Fox Sports."
And he concluded, "Wait…How long until Week 1???? LFG!!"
Brady was hit by a number of restrictions after his minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders was confirmed.
As an NFL team owner, he cannot attend production meetings, watch team practice, visit other team's training bases or even criticise refs and other teams.
Brady also has to abide by the league's gambling and anti-tampering rules.
But last week he said, "I've got nine years left on my deal, maybe longer. If Fox wants me then and I want to go, we'll just keep going.
"I've had the best time at Fox and I've loved every time going into the booth and working with great people.
“I love the ability to take the viewer inside of just the way that I see things.
“To use your voice and vision for a live television audience, there’s a lot of adrenaline in that and it's very different from when I played."
