But the 2024 season saw the legendary quarterback take up his new position as a pundit analysing the NFL matches from the studio and commentary booth.

He signed a whopping ten-year, $375million contract with Fox.

And last weekend’s Super Bowl marked the end of his debut campaign with the network.

As part of the four-year broadcasting rotation, Fox will not show the Super Bowl again until 2029 as NBC, ESPN and CBS take their turns.

However, it may well have been the final Fox Super Bowl for iconic pundits Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson.

And Brady was quick to thank everyone involved for making his first season a success, especially after a tricky start.

He wrote on Instagram: “The 2024 @nfl season is in the books.

“It certainly was a new challenge to undertake but I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of and learn from!

“To all of my @nflonfox teammates, producers, crew, and colleagues – you made this experience so special, and I’m grateful for the energy, dedication and perseverance you brought every week while always delivering the best broadcast for the fans who we serve week in and week out.

“It’s always been about the TEAM and I’m lucky to be part of this great one @foxsports.

“Wait… How long until Week 1???? LFG!! #ontothenextone.”

Johnson, 81, looks on course to retire after his 30-plus years with Fox – especially after an emotional tribute before the Super Bowl.

Bradshaw, meanwhile, would need a new contract if he is to cover another NFL showpiece with Fox.

Like Johnson, he has been with Fox since 1994.

But the 76-year-old’s current $5m-a-year deal has two years left to run – but revealed he is keen to stay on until he is 80 to cover one final Super Bowl.

As for Strahan, he insisted he would be back for the new NFL season in September.
