After the huge success of the Netflix Roast that basically took all the spotlight last week, NFL legend Tom Brady is all set to make his debut as a sports analyst.

During this time, Brady signed a massive 10-year deal with FOX Sports worth $375 million to re-enter the world of NFL as an analyst. His debut was set for the 2024 fall, which now has been official as FOX announced Brady’s broadcasting debut in the Week 1 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys, as the lead analyst.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion received the exciting news at Fox’s 2024 Upfront event on Monday, from Michael Strahan . In his response to analyzing the Cowboys’ first game of 2024, Brady took a subtle dig at the team, particularly quarterback Dak Prescott.

But in this new role, I know how important the Cowboys are to this network. Tom Brady said, as he expressed his excitement, before taking a shot at the Cowboys quarterback
