Fox Sports’ NFL coverage will look a lot different in 2024, with legendary quarterback Tom Brady headlining the list of notable changes.
In 2022, Fox Sports and Tom Brady agreed to a lucrative 10-year contract worth $375 million that will begin this year — more than a year after he announced his second (and official) retirement from football.
Per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Fox has officially announced their broadcast crews for this season. The top team will feature Brady working with Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.
Greg Olsen spent two years on the No. 1 team with Burkhardt and Andrews. He shifts to their second team with Joe Davis and Pam Oliver, with Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma and Megan Olivi on the third team.
Adam Amin will be working with Mark Sanchez and Kristina Pink. Chris Myers will be with Mark Schlereth and Jen Hale, with the sixth team consisting of Kevin Kugler, Daryl Johnston and Laura Okmin:

Unsurprisingly, NFL fans are mostly excited about Tom Brady joining the network’s No. 1 team with Burkhardt, Andrews and Rinaldi:
Tom Brady joins the long list of former NFL star quarterbacks who shifted to analyst/commentary roles following their playing careers.
Dan Fouts, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Phil Simms, Kurt Warner and Joe Montana are among the other notable former signal-callers who gave it a try. Some, of course, were far more successful than others.
Tom Brady Should Flourish On Fox
As is the case with any great athlete, Brady had plenty of lovers AND haters during his playing career. Regardless of how you feel about Brady, however, there should be little questioning his ability to shine on the mic.
Brady is the most accomplished player in NFL history, with seven Super Bowl rings and the owner of every significant passing record. He has seen more on the field than anybody else, so his in-game analysis should be top-notch content for the audience.
