Tom Brady faces tough decision: NFL team ownership vs multi-million dollar TV deal

The seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady is weighing two enticing offers to stay in the National Football League (NFL), but he can only pick one. He is on the brink of being the part-owner of Las Vegas Raiders, while also considering a lucrative opportunity to become one of the highest-paid TV broadcasters ever.

According to Forbes, the total value of Las Vegas Raiders is $6.7 billion, ranking them among the NFL's most expensive franchises. The legendary quarterback will face numerous restrictions imposed by the NFL if he chooses to become a part-owner.

What did ESPN report?

ESPN reported that, "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."

The main factor of not entering the business for Brady is that he won't be able to have contact with players, coaches and staff members.

"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," ESPN further added.

Part-ownership or Million-Dollar deal?

The seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady isn't getting over the possibility of becoming a part-owner of Las Vegas Raiders. He is being offered a whopping $375 million contract by FOX to be a part of the game broadcasts. One thing is for sure that his presence will attract NFL fans to the broadcasts despite him having less on-camera experience.

Tom Brady's roast on Netflix

Recently in a Netflix parody, the subject of a roast was Tom Brady. The alleged theory that he "deflated balls" to throw better was one of the jokes that New England Patriots legend received. He ironically commented that the NFL had to spend millions to investigate about the theory, whether it was true or not.

Brady during the Netflix roast said, "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."
