Tom Brady, the legendary former quarterback of the New England Patriots and current Fox Sports football analyst, appears set for an official return to Gillette Stadium. This news was hinted at during a recent Patriots preseason game when team announcers Scott Zolak and the McCourty twins, Jason and Devin, discussed Brady’s involvement in a Week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins.
The conversation took place during the Thursday night game in Foxborough, where Zolak casually mentioned, “They got Brady doing games, he’ll be pretty good, I think. He’ll be back here at some point, I think it’s Week 5. Probably Miami, right?” This seemingly confirmed that Brady would be back at Gillette Stadium on October 6th to call the Dolphins-Patriots matchup.
Brady, who retired from playing last year, has been keeping busy with various high-profile engagements. He’s slated to make $37.5 million annually as part of his 10-year broadcasting deal with Fox Sports, totaling a whopping $375 million. Despite officially ending his playing career, Brady has remained in the public eye, from participating in a Netflix roast to being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
His upcoming return to New England is highly anticipated, especially as it aligns with his new role as a football color commentator for Fox Sports. Although Fox has officially announced only one of Brady’s assignments—the September 8th Cowboys-Browns game—it’s likely that fans will see him back in the familiar setting of Gillette Stadium soon.
The return of Brady to New England, even in a non-playing capacity, is sure to be a momentous occasion, rekindling the memories of his storied career with the Patriots and his lasting impact on the franchise.
Stay tuned for further updates as the NFL season unfolds, and Brady’s first year as a broadcaster takes shape.
