Agent says Tom Brady intends to play out his full 10-year contract with Fox

As Fox analyst Tom Brady takes on a bigger and bigger role with the Raiders, he won’t have a different role with Fox.

His agent Don Yee talks about Ben Fisher Sports business journal that brady intends to fully perform his 10-year contract as a broadcaster.

“Tom has had a lot of fun working with Fox this year, and is really excited about his future with Fox and his growth within their team,” Yee said of Fischer. “This year was the first year of a long relationship.”

Fox will reportedly pay Brady $375 million over a decade.

Yee’s disclosure comes at a time when some have suggested that Brady should or should walk away from Fox after the Super Bowl. And at the time word got out that Brady wanted to make it known, as soon as possible, that he wasn’t leaving.

With Brady becoming directly involved in the Raiders’ coaching search, his conflict of interest occupies a central place. And he definitely has a conflict of interest.

Consider this definition of the term: “A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s personal interests — family, friendships, financial or social factors — may impair their judgment, decisions or actions in the workplace.”

If, for example, Brady hopes to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for Raiders coach That goal conflicts with Brady’s obligation to provide an unbiased, objective and complete analysis of his call for Saturday night’s Commanders-Lions game. As he formulates his quick, extemporaneous soundbites after a given play, Brady could pull punches if he believes Johnson made a mistake. Brady could also unnecessarily and excessively praise Johnson for things going well.

As a result, Fox should absolutely reveal the matchup to the 40 million or so who will tune in to watch Commanders-Lions, with Brady on the call. The NFL, not often shy about telling broadcasters what to do, should make Fox do it.

It will not remove the conflict of interest. But it will ensure that those who don’t follow the sport as closely as others (like you reading this ad) are aware of a factor that could influence Brady’s choice of words in real time.

And if Brady doesn’t want to remove himself from the fray, that should become a common feature of all the plays Brady calls.

Especially if/when he’s assigned to play the Raiders game.

If Brady’s involvement with the Raiders helps turn the team into a national draw, he certainly will.
