That’s a hell of a gamble for Fox. One of the drivers of the recent round of musical chairs of announcers came from when ESPN tried to poach Tony Romo for MNF. CBS kept him but they had to pay him $17 million a year which is more than 5 times than any other announcer made. Romo’s deal has now become standard and the networks are now evaluating their talent not at their current salaries but whether they’re worth keeping at the higher rates.
The Brady deal with Fox resets the market. So if Brady flops they not only have to pay out his contract, they will also have to pay as much to his replacement. I have no idea what due diligence Fox did before closing this deal. I know Brady did prerecorded halftime segments for MNF on Westwood One radio so he has some media experience they could evaluate.
