New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may have more announcements coming in the future. For now, he made a professional decision which will likely have little impact on his free agency decision. Brady is launching 199 Productions, a multi-platform production company.
“When I was the 199th draft pick in 2000,” Brady wrote on Instagram on Monday. “I knew I needed to work hard every day to prove myself. Launching a production company is no different and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to partner with @therussobrothers, @agbofilms and @gchopra (Gotham Chopra) on our first project ‘Unseen Football.’ I believe in the essence of teamwork, and I have no doubt, our 199 Productions team and partners will create inspiring content to share with the world. Stay tuned.. exciting times are ahead, both on and off the field.”
Naturally, his announcement should increase speculation that Brady is interested in moving to L.A., where he could play with the Chargers. But Brady has been involved in TV and movies, with work on the TV show, “Religion of Sports,” and a cameo on Netflix’s “Living With Yourself.” Brady and Chopra also worked together on “Tom vs. Time,” a docu-series about Brady’s life, which appeared on Facebook. An increased role in filmmaking won’t necessarily draw him to L.A. He did plenty of work on movies in New England.
While this decision is certainly interesting, it’s not the one the NFL world is waiting for. Everyone impatiently awaits Brady’s decision for free agency, which opens on March 18. Brady can begin discussions with other NFL teams on March 16, the open of the tampering period, if the Patriots don’t re-sign him on an extension.
