FOX Sports has officially announced that former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees has signed a multi-year deal to serve as a full-time NFL game analyst, a move that marks his long-awaited return to broadcasting. According to insider Andrew Marchand, Brees will join play-by-play commentator Adam Amin in the booth beginning next season, forming what FOX executives are calling “a dynamic, insightful, and high-energy duo.”
The decision comes after months of speculation about where Brees would land following his brief stint with NBC Sports in 2021. Since stepping away from broadcasting to focus on personal projects and his family, many fans had wondered whether the former New Orleans Saints legend would ever return to television. Now, his comeback appears to be official — and with FOX, it’s a major signing that immediately strengthens the network’s NFL coverage lineup.
Brees, known for his unmatched football IQ, leadership, and articulate on-field communication, is expected to bring a detailed analytical edge to FOX’s broadcasts. “I’m thrilled to be joining the FOX Sports family,” Brees said in a statement. “Football has always been a passion of mine — not just playing the game but understanding it. I can’t wait to share that insight with fans every week.”
Adam Amin, who has earned widespread praise for his energetic and polished commentary, expressed excitement about teaming up with Brees. “Drew’s perspective as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history adds a level of insight that only a few people in the world can offer,” Amin said. “Together, we’re going to bring something special to viewers.”
Behind the scenes, FOX executives reportedly see Brees as a long-term cornerstone for their coverage, particularly with several key broadcast contracts extending into the 2030s. His arrival comes at a time when the network is looking to deepen its roster of high-profile commentators following the success of figures like Greg Olsen and Kevin Burkhardt.
Fans have already reacted positively to the news, expressing excitement over seeing Brees back in a role that connects his deep football knowledge with his natural charisma. While Brees’ playing career ended with legendary status in New Orleans, his new journey in the booth could mark the beginning of a second act just as impactful — one where his voice, rather than his arm, leads the charge every Sunday.
