Some precedent to this: last May, Fox announced Brady would become its lead analyst when he retires (which eventually happened). The 10-year, $375m deal happened at the same time former #1 announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were poached by ESPN for Monday Night Football; as a result, Fox announced their then-existing #2 team of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen would be promoted to replace Buck and Aikman, with Brady replacing Olsen when he's ready to do so. The nature of the deal (which also leverages Brady's celebrity notoriety) also surpasses the deal made between CBS and Tony Romo, who signed a three-year deal in 2017, and renewed it in 2020 for a $170m, 10-year deal.
