Tom Brady still has plans of being in a broadcast booth in 2024 … at least, that’s according to the ex-NFL star himself, who refuted a report on Thursday morning that said he was considering otherwise.

The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback took to the comment section of a Sports Illustrated Instagram post to make it clear … he still has every intention of being a FOX Sports color commentator for NFL games next year.

In the SI post, the outlet cited a New York Post report that said the 45-year-old was now leaning toward walking away from the $375 million contract that he signed with FOX — in order to pursue other ventures in retirement.

But, Brady denied the report with just two words … “FakeNews.”

TMZ Sports has learned Brady ain’t just blowing smoke — our sources tell us he’s already dived headfirst into preparations for the role, despite being roughly 16 months away from starting the gig.
