The world of football broadcasting is set for a major shakeup this offseason. Fox’s Troy Aikman is reportedly set to leave for the Monday Night Football gig at ESPN, and the network could look to pull his current play-by-play partner, Fox’s Joe Buck, or free agent Al Michaels, to join him.
Aikman and Michaels had been heavily connected to Amazon, which takes over Thursday Night Football in 2022. Aikman’s move to ESPN, and the potential for Michaels to join him, leave Amazon and Fox looking to plug significant holes on their top broadcast teams.
In his wide ranging report on the state of the NFL’s top broadcast booths, New York Post reporter Andrew Marchand revealed one monumental name continues to come up, and will be receiving calls from those two networks: the recently-retired Tom Brady.
