It’s been nearly 2½ years since Fox Sports announced that Tom Brady would be their lead color commentator, as the seven-time Super Bowl champion signed a 10-year, $375 million deal making him the highest-paid sports commentator in history. He would play his final NFL season in 2022 and take what amounted to a gap year in 2023 away from both the football field and the broadcasting booth.
Brady is slated to make his debut this season, with the first game being a Week 1 tilt between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
