Fox makes major NFL broadcasting changes with Tom Brady’s arrival setting off domino effect for 2024 announce teams
FOX Sports are set for a dramatic broadcast booth reshuffle to accommodate Tom Brady.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner makes his announcing bow for the network in September.
Brady's long-awaited post-NFL career move has been two years in the making.
He penned a $375 million deal with Fox in the summer of 2022 before returning to play for another season.
Brady is set to team up alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt on primetime telecasts.
His arrival has reportedly set in motion several changes to the Fox lineup for 2024.

Greg Olsen, who appeared alongside Burkhardt last season, is set to call games alongside Joe Davis, per The Athletic.
Adam Amin will now reportedly be teamed up with Mark Sanchez, while Kenny Albert is joined by Jon Vilma.
The final changes will see Kevin Kugler paired with Daryl Johnston and Mark Schlereth partner Chris Myers.
"Man, Davis/Olsen may be the best booth in all of sports," wrote one NFL fan on X.
"Joe Davis and Greg Olsen need to be the top pairing. Kevin Burkhardt is better in studio than play-by-play," said another.
"Can't wait to hear the GOAT," added a third.
Brady's first game in the booth is set to be the Week 1 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys.
The 46-year-old has been hard at work prepping for his newest career venture after retiring last February.
"Certainly, with the broadcaster, I don't think, for me, it's about competition," Brady said last month.
"I think it's for me, it's about 'Did I put everything I could into it? Did I give the fans everything that they tuned in for?'
"And that's really how I'll end up gauging myself."

"People have said that Tom and I have butted heads a lot and, in a way, that was true. But not really. It was hard to butt heads with Tom because he was so far up Alex Guerrero's a**."

“Everybody asks me which ring is my favorite. I used to say, ‘The next one.’ But now that I’m retired, my favorite ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”
