When FOX signed Tom Brady to a 10-year contract to call NFL games on television, there was a lot of skepticism that the seven-time Super Bowl champion would ever reach the end of that deal. A fierce competitor with a diversified portfolio, the thought was that something would draw his fancy and draw him away from the broadcast booth.

But now, after the Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce, the rumblings about Brady’s role with the organization — Dianna Russini reported Brady will have “a lot” of influence on who the next head coach will be — have fueled speculation that he’d leave Fox after one year.
