<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tom-brady-113387/">Tom Brady</a> is approaching his new job as the top NFL analyst for Fox in much the same way he did at quarterback. He’s going to know everything. That’s why he picked up the phone and called <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tony-romo-113980/">Tony Romo</a>.



Like Brady, Romo is also a retired <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/">NFL</a> quarterback, albeit one with seven fewer Super Bowl rings. Romo could be a good reference for Brady. Romo retired from the Dallas Cowboys after the 2016 season. Then CBS immediately hired him to be the network’s lead NFL analyst for the upcoming season. They moved Phil Simms to the Sunday studio show to make way for Romo in the booth.



Romo recently talked about the chats he was having with Tom Brady.



“Just two buddies talking football,” <a href="https://theathletic.com/5264209/2024/02/12/tom-brady-greg-olsen-nfl-analyst-media-questions/">Romo told The Athletic</a>. “I’m excited for him. Tom will exhaust every resource to be as good at this as anybody. I think me and him have similar traits in that we’re going to try and work as hard as humanly possible to be as good as we can be at anything that we care about. He’s doing that. I think it was a genius decision by him to wait a year coming out and prepare himself. He’s going to do a great job. I think he’s going to be outstanding.”



Richard Deitsch, who covers media for The Athletic, wrote these observations about Brady and how the legendary quarterback is approaching his training for a new profession.



Over the last year, I have spoken with many people who were in production meetings with Brady when he was a player. They were impressed by his ability to communicate football concepts in a clear way and said he was opinionated in those meetings. They described him as someone who could be very funny and occasionally profane and came off like a normal person within a not-so-normal career and life.

Deitsch also noted that Brady had increased his media appearances the past six months. Plus, Brady seemed to be everywhere at the biggest game of the year. He starred in at least two commercials, including one for Dunkin with actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.



Brady retired a year ago, but he waited to start his TV career until fall of 2024, Meanwhile, he’s also settling another piece of business. The NFL is <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/tom-brady-on-track-to-become-a-raiders-minority-owner-set-for-tv-future-with-fox">readying to approve his ownership stake in the Raiders</a>. NFL.com reported that the NFL Finance Committee will examine the proposal from Brady’s ownership group on March 4 or 5th. Then, it can get final approval during the NFL meetings in Orlando. Those meetings are set for March 24-27. 



The Brady group will own 10 percent of the Raiders. And within the group, Brady will have seven percent.
