Tom Brady Confirms Commitment to $375 Million Fox Contract Amid Raiders Coaching Search for Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn

Jan 19, 2025, 03:15 AM

Tom Brady's agent, Don Yee, confirmed that the former quarterback intends to fulfill his 10-year, $375 million broadcasting contract with Fox Sports, amid ongoing speculation about his future in broadcasting and his role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Brady is set to call a postseason game for Fox, which will feature two coordinators from the Detroit Lions—Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn—who are both considered strong candidates for the Raiders' head coaching position. Fox Sports executives have dismissed concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest stemming from Brady's dual roles, labeling such questions as 'ridiculous.' The Raiders are actively conducting interviews for their head coaching vacancy, with former Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera being interviewed recently. As the NFL's coaching cycle accelerates, Johnson has emerged as a leading candidate for the Raiders, with in-person interviews for coaching positions set to begin soon. The upcoming game featuring the Lions and Commanders will provide Brady an opportunity to address his involvement in the Raiders' coaching search on-air.
