The Tom Brady era of Fox NFL coverage has begun. After one year away from the field, Brady is headed into the broadcast booth as the top analyst for Fox NFL broadcasts starting in the 2024 season.
As a player, Brady does not need much of an introduction. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has reached heights no other NFL player has, and he now looks to bring that same level of excellence to a season of broadcasts that will culminate with coverage of Super Bowl 59.
Brady is a high-profile talent who commands a high-profile salary, meaning the reported figures of his deal with Fox jump off the page. Here is a breakdown of Brady's contract with Fox and how it impacts his standing among his peers.

Tom Brady Fox contract
Brady received a 10-year, $375 million deal from Fox to become an analyst for NFL games, according to a 2022 report from Andrew Marchand. The reported figure averages out to $37.5 million annually, making Brady one of the media's highest-paid members.
For reference, CBS reportedly pays Tony Romo $18 million annually, and ESPN's Troy Aikman reportedly earns $17.5 million each season. Brady's reported salary for his first year in the booth will double those figures.
How much does Tom Brady make per game?
With an 18-week season, three rounds of the playoffs, and Super Bowl 59, Brady could call up to 22 games during the 2024 NFL season. If he does, he would earn around $1.7 million per game.
If Brady does not call a game during each week of the season, the figure could approach $2.0 million per game, though Brady will almost certainly be on the call for at least 20 games this season.
