One of Fox Sports’ biggest broadcasters has questions about how soon Tom Brady will join the network.
During Tuesday’s installment of his FS1 show, Colin Cowherd addressed recent rumors that Rich Eisen heard at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, in which Brady could potentially retire for a second straight offseason.

“Brady set some different records last year at age 45, attempts and completions. So many people are lame to the end; Elway didn’t, Derek Jeter didn’t, Kobe Bryant scored 61 in his last game as a Laker,” Coward added.

It was on Coward’s show that Brady announced he would take a gap year between the NFL and broadcasting.
Brady, who announced his second NFL retirement in early February, has been enjoying family time since being away from football.
In fact, the seven-time Super Bowl champion joked Tuesday in response to Ison’s initial scoop about how he doesn’t have enough time on his hands to play again after his recent adoption of a kitten.
Brady signed a 10-year deal worth $375 million last offseason to join Fox Sports following his retirement from the NFL.
