Welcome back to the booth, Drew Brees.
The former NFL quarterback is joining Fox as a game analyst after a one-season stint at NBC, The Athletic reported Wednesday, a move possibly signaling that the embattled Mark Sanchez’s time at the network is up following his shocking arrest.
The former Jets quarterback-turned-Fox Sports analyst, 38, has not appeared on the air since his Oct. 4 arrest in Indianapolis, where he was involved in a violent incident with an older grease truck driver.
Sanchez, in town to call the Colts-Raiders clash, was stabbed in the fracas — with the driver claiming the broadcaster was the aggressor — and was subsequently hospitalized.
He was later charged with a felony count of battery involving serious bodily injury and three misdemeanors, one of which being public intoxication.
A trial date is set for Dec. 11.
Brees, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the Saints, will start his next chapter at Fox a week from Sunday, according to The Athletic, which noted, “His exact game assignment is not known yet.”
He is anticipated to work alongside play-by-play caller Adam Amin, who had worked with Sanchez.
