For the first time on a Monday afternoon, seven-time Super Bowl champion and recently retired<\/a> (for a second time) quarterback Tom Brady<\/a> clarified his future plans to be part of Fox Sports coverage of the NFL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brady Drops the Details to Colin Cowherd<\/h2>\n

Appearing on the Colin Cowherd radio\/TV simulcast on Fox Sports 1 cable and Fox Sports Radio network, the 45-year-old former quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> and previously the New England Patriots<\/a>, clarified for the first time that he <\/span>will not join <\/span><\/i>Fox for the upcoming 2023 football season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said instead that he will take time with his family and be ready to join the network for its massively popular coverage of the NFL a year and a half from now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDecompression is important\u2026.it\u2019s a daily fight. And I have such an appreciation for so many people that are so committed,\u201d Brady told the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI think for me. I want to be great at what I do. You know, talking last week with the people at Fox Sports and the leadership there allowing me to start my Fox opportunity in the Fall of 2024 is something that\u2019s great for me.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Brady’s Future in Broadcasting<\/h2>\n

Brady signed a blockbuster 10-year contract with Fox to become their lead football analyst during the 40-day interim of his announced retirement in January 2022<\/a>. However, he then made his March decision to go back on that retirement<\/a> and come back to play a third season for the Buccaneers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That contract was for Brady to join play-by-play man Kevin Burkhart in the booth for Fox’s number one game broadcast every week and was to have included him working the Super Bowl in Arizona, which will now be played this Sunday between the Eagles and the Chiefs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, when he chose to play again in 2022, that meant analyst Greg Olsen worked with Burkhart, whom he had been with the previous two seasons. Olsen has blossomed into an enjoyable and informative partner on Fox’s most prominent games. That includes Olson having worked the NFC championship game between the Eagles blowout of the 49ers in just 10 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
