Reports: Fox Sports Hires Drew Brees as Full-Time NFL Game Analyst Starting Week 11

The move effectively fills Adam Amin’s booth spot vacated after Mark Sanchez’s October arrest left his future at Fox in doubt.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite The Athletic in reporting that Brees agreed to a multi-year deal and is expected to work through at least next season, with financial terms undisclosed.
  • Brees is expected to be paired with play-by-play announcer Adam Amin, though specific game assignments for his debut week have not been announced.
  • The hire follows Sanchez’s absence from broadcasts since early October; he faces a felony battery charge and three misdemeanors in Indianapolis, with a trial date set for Dec. 11.
  • Brees returns to full-time game analysis after a criticized 2021 stint at NBC and recent work on studio shows and Netflix’s NFL Christmas coverage.
  • His addition expands Fox’s high-profile analyst roster alongside Tom Brady and Greg Olsen, as the network reshapes its game booths midseason.
