In less than a month, Tom Brady will officially join the list of all-time great NFL quarterbacks who transitioned into broadcasting following their playing career.

Two years ago, Tom Brady agreed to a lucrative 10-year contract with FOX Sports worth $375 million. He will work on the network’s top NFL commentary team, which consists of play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Their first game together will be on Sept. 9, featuring the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.

Former Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowler Tony Romo joined the club of quarterbacks-turned-broadcasters in 2017 after retiring from football. Other notable former quarterbacks to succeed in broadcasting include Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw, Kurt Warner, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason and Johnny Unitas.

So, how does Tony Romo feel about Tom Brady’s chances of flourishing in the next chapter of his life? Here’s what the former Cowboys star had to say during an interview on “CBS Morning” (via Sam Neumann of Awful Announcing):

“We all know Tom well. You gotta remember, Jim’s (Nantz) done the most Tom Brady football of anyone (in broadcasting) — literally over 100. I think it’s great. I think it’s great for the industry that people want to go into this position and these roles. I think you find that the NFL has that grab. This was not always that, but Troy Aikman, I felt like really started this. Now, it’s part of possibly an arc in your career.

But, Tom’s gonna do great. He’s working as hard as anybody.”


Former Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen was on FOX’s top team with Burkhardt and Andrews for two years, but he was moved to the network’s No. 2 team with Joe Davis.

Tom Brady played 23 NFL seasons (2000 to 2023), with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady initially called it quits in 2022 after two seasons in Tampa but decided to return for a third season with the Bucs after a short 40-day retirement.

Brady retired as the NFL’s all-time leader in every major passing category and Super Bowl rings (seven). His playing career may be over, but just like old times, Brady will be back to appearing weekly on your television sets during the NFL season.

Tom Brady Should Shine In His New Career

Love or hate Tom Brady, you can’t take away his accomplishments on the football field. No NFL player saw more on the field during their career than TB12, so his in-game analysis should be sharp, crisp and accurate.

Even if Brady doesn’t flourish immediately, he’s still a big name that fans will want to tune into weekly. FOX knows that darn well, hence the lengthy term on his contract.
