Brady’s TV analyst role will start in ’24 season

Tom Brady will not go immediately from the playing field to the broadcast booth.

Brady told Colin Cowherd during Monday’s episode of “The Herd” on FS1 and Fox Sports Radio that he will not start his broadcasting career with Fox until the 2024 season.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion — who retired last week after a 23-year career with the Patriots and Buccaneers — signed a 10-year deal with Fox in May to become the network’s top analyst when he decided to quit playing for good.

Brady said that he didn’t want to immediately rush into announcing and that he wanted to catch up on some other parts of his life.

He’s expected to eventually join Kevin Burkhardt on Fox’s top team. Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will call their first Super Bowl on Sunday when the Chiefs face the Eagles.

The Chiefs activated backup RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from the IR, making him eligible to play in the Super Bowl.

Edwards-Helaire hasn’t played since a Week 11 game against the Chargers because of a high ankle sprain . ... The Vikings are hiring former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, 41, as their new defensive coordinator, ESPN reported.
