Drew Brees Joins Fox Booth, Keeps Netflix Christmas Day Assignment

Fox granted a rare waiver to honor Brees’ preexisting Netflix commitment.

Overview

Drew Brees makes his Fox debut in Week 11 calling Packers–Giants with Adam Amin and Kristina Pink at MetLife Stadium.
Fox has permitted Brees to keep his Netflix role calling Lions–Vikings on Christmas Day, where he is set to work alongside Noah Eagle.
The hire follows Fox parting ways with Mark Sanchez after an Indianapolis incident that led to felony battery charges, creating the booth vacancy.
Brees’ Fox agreement is reported to span multiple years, with commitments through at least next season.
Fox and ESPN have generally blocked on-air NFL talent from Netflix’s Christmas coverage, while CBS and NBC have allowed appearances, making Brees an unusual exception.
