The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s retirement announcement ended speculation about whether and where Brady might want to play next season, opening the door for numerous off-the-field endeavors that could occupy his time.
It was announced last May that whenever Brady stepped away from his playing career, he would join Fox Sports as the network’s lead NFL analyst in a 10-year, $375 million contract.
The 45-year-old future Hall of Famer, who said Wednesday that he’s retiring for good, already has numerous commercial endorsements and an extensive business portfolio that includes the TB12 health and fitness company he co-founded with close friend and long-time trainer Alex Guerrero.
However, he could choose to reconsider his retirement.

We take a look at the activities that will keep Brady entertained:
Television TOM
While there’s been no official word on when Brady might begin working for FOX Sports, the network will broadcast next weekend’s Super Bowl from Glendale, Arizona, and it’s not inconceivable that at least a cameo appearance by Brady might be in the works.
Brady is the holder of numerous Super Bowl records. These include title games appearances (10) wins (seven), and MVP awards (5).
TOM THE BUSINESSMAN
TB12 is one part of the business empire Brady started while playing for the New England Patriots or Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Among the other ventures he’s launched are his own BRADY clothing brand, 199 Productions, created three years ago to develop documentaries, feature films and television shows; and Autograph, an NFT company.

He was asked at the premiere whether he felt a connection working these women — the four stars range in age from 76 to 91 — who don’t want to retire.
“They’re working hard and they love it. So good for them,”Brady spoke to The Associated Press. “You know, it’s just that’s what life is about. You got to, you know, wake up every day with a purpose. And when you find something you love to do, you know, it’s hard to stop.”
Brady was able to do that in football, even though he had a terrible last season. Now fans are waiting to see what’s next.

TOM THE FAMILY MASTER

In the months after his 13-year marriage to model Gisele Bündchen ended in October, Brady has reiterated how important his kids and being a father are to him.
He has a son and daughter who live with Bündchen in South Florida, where Brady also has a home. His older son, Bridget Moynahan (actress), lives with him in New York.
DUTIES OF THE FOUNDATION TB12
Brady’s charitable foundation is one of his passions, and has been for some time.
According to the TB12 website there has been a scholarship program through which thousands of sessions have been provided to athletes from all ages. “who would not ordinarily be able to access or afford high-quality post-injury rehabilitation and/or performance enhancement training.”
