Did McCourty just break some news?
Tom Brady is ready for the start of his next football chapter as he prepares for his first season as a broadcaster with FOX Sports.
He’ll join the No. 1 team with Kevin Burkhardt in a season where FOX will broadcast Super Bowl LIX.
There’s plenty of dates already on Brady’s calendar with his first group of assignments for the upcoming NFL season. One game that is yet to be seen is when (and if) Brady will broadcast a game for his old team in the New England Patriots this season.
His old teammate may have just leaked that potential surprise.
“He’ll be back here at some point,” Devin McCourty shared on the Patriots’ preseason broadcast against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. “I think it’s Week 5.”
Again, that’s not confirmed yet, but does McCourty know something we don’t?
McCourty currently contributes to NBC’s pregame coverage on “Sunday Night Football” while Brady will make his debut with FOX. At the very least, that’s a quote to keep in mind.
Last Sunday, ESPN’s Mike Reiss also speculated that Week 5 could make sense for Brady to be in the booth for a Patriots game. New England hosts Miami at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 6 at 1 p.m. ET.
