Fox hires retired QB Drew Brees as full-time analyst, replacing Mark Sanchez.

Fox has hired retired NFL quarterback Drew Brees as a full-time analyst, according to The Athletic, marking a major addition to its broadcast team. Brees, a 13-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, will join Tom Brady and Greg Olsen in the booth, with his debut expected the following Sunday. The move likely signals Fox’s departure from Mark Sanchez, who was arrested in October. Brees, 46, retired after the 2020 season and previously worked with NBC, ESPN, and Netflix. He ranks second in NFL history in passing yards (80,358) and touchdown passes (571) and led the New Orleans Saints to a Super Bowl XLIV victory. Contract and game details remain undisclosed.
