Tom Brady is by all accounts the greatest quarterback in NFL history, and he has a chance to become a broadcasting icon in future decades after signing a record-breaking contract with Fox. But one former television executive isn’t so sure Brady will be worth the money.
“There’s very little economic value,” former ESPN president John Skipper said last week on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. “He’s a very, very, very expensive trophy.”
Brady agreed to a deal that will make the seven-time Super Bowl champion the network’s lead NFL analyst following his retirement in a deal reportedly worth $375 million over 10 years.
