Former ESPN president John Skipper isn't so sure Tom Brady will be worth his $375 million contract with Fox
Skipper’s comments weren’t necessarily critical of the current Buccaneers quarterback. Rather, Skipper, who is currently the executive chairman of DAZN, said he would rather see Fox use its money on live broadcast rights, or further staffing across the company.
“Seriously, for $375 million, you could have bought some live event rights, which would actually make a significant difference,” Skipper said. “[Brady] does not make significant difference other than pride and ambassadorship to put somebody in the booth for $37.5 million dollars [per year].” Skipper has plenty of experience leading media outlets. He was with ESPN from 2012 through 2017, and he is now the CEO of Meadowlark Media. As for Brady, he still has some football left in him before heading to the booth. He’ll begin his 23rd NFL season in 2022 as he seeks an eighth Lombardi Trophy.
