Tom Brady is going to take part in a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia next year and the belief is that he's getting a large sum of money to do it.
Before the Las Vegas Raiders' Week 2 game, Brady announced his participation in the event, which is going to take place in March of next year.
The rumored price tag Saudi Arabia paid for Brady's services is $75 million, which Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy revealed on "Wake Up Barstool" on FS1 on Monday.
"$75 million he got paid to do this," Portnoy said of Brady.
Brady quickly caught wind of the rumor and shot it down.
"Are we just picking numbers out of a hat and reporting them?" he asked. "While we’re breaking news... Elvis is doing the halftime show, and Babe Ruth is gonna sign some autographs for fans. Also I heard Dave prefers floppy pizza.
"Who cares about facts right?"
After what we saw with LIV Golf contracts, we know Saudi Arabia is willing to throw around ridiculous sums of money.
For Brady to get involved in a flag football tourney after not having thrown a pass since 2022, it likely cost a pretty penny.
That said, Brady's price tag has not been confirmed by anyone, including himself, so the $75 million is just a rumor at this point.
Brady isn't the only participant with NFL ties taking part in the tournament.
He'll be joined by Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, and Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill.
