It is probably safe to say that not even the legendary quarterback Tom Brady himself knows when he’ll retire from the NFL. However, he already has his next job lined up whenever that happens.

On Tuesday, Fox Sports announced that Brady would join their team once he decided to step away from football. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is set to serve as the lead NFL analyst for the network.

“We are delighted that Tom has committed to joining the Fox team and wish him all the best during this upcoming season,” Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said announcing the news.

Explaining Brady’s role, Murdoch revealed that the 44-year-old player would call games in company with Kevin Burkhardt, the network’s leading play-by-play announcer. Brady will also work on promoting the Fox brand.

Tom Brady already stepped away from football once, retiring back in early February. However, less than two months into his retirement, Brady changed his mind and committed to playing at least one more season. It remains to be seen whether Brady decides to play past 2022.

Brady will join a long list of former star QBs who made the transition to broadcasting after retiring from football. This includes Troy Aikman, Tony Romo, Peyton and Eli Manning, and  Drew Brees.
