Overview
- Fox has agreed to hire Drew Brees as a full-time NFL game analyst on a multi-year deal, with a signed contract expected soon and financial terms undisclosed.
- Brees, 46, is expected to make his debut a week from Sunday in Week 11, likely paired with play-by-play announcer Adam Amin, though the specific game assignment is not yet known.
- Reports indicate the move likely signals the end of Mark Sanchez’s role at Fox; he has been off the air since his early-October Indianapolis arrest on a felony battery charge and has pleaded not guilty, with a Dec. 11 trial date set.
- The agreement is reported to run through at least next season, with some outlets indicating it could extend through the 2026 campaign.
- Brees returns to the booth after a brief NBC stint and recent studio work for Fox and ESPN, plus Netflix game broadcasts, joining a Fox analyst lineup that includes Tom Brady and Greg Olsen.
