NEW England Patriots legend Julian Edelman revealed whether he’s interested in being part of Fox NFL Sunday in the future.<\/p>\n

After his football retirement in 2020, Edelman joined Fox Sports as an NFL analyst on Fox NFL Kickoff before the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

At the age of 39, Edelman is one of the youngest analysts out there, and his future could be at Fox’s primary pre-game show, Fox NFL Sunday.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Sun spoke to Edelman at Fanatics Fest in New York City last week and asked him whether he sees himself working on Fox NFL Sunday eventually.<\/p>\n

It seems that Edelman is comfortable with his job at Fox NFL Kickoff and is looking forward to the upcoming 2025 season.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know. I love what I do. I get to explain the game that I love with people I like working with,” Edelman said.<\/p>\n

“Right now, I’m just enjoying Fanatics Fest right here… and excited like everyone else for the start of the season.”<\/p>\n

Fox NFL Sunday could have openings in the not-so-distant future. <\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> legendary head coach Johnson retired from the show<\/a> after the Super Bowl in February.<\/p>\n

He’ll be replaced by Edelman’s former Patriots teammate and icon Rob Gronkowski<\/a>, who filled in for Johnson during portions of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old Terry Bradshaw<\/a> revealed that he’ll retire the next time Fox broadcasts the Super Bowl, which will be when he’s 80.<\/p>\n

“I told my wife before I even left the room awhile ago,” Bradshaw said at Super Bowl 59 in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I was sitting there and I said, \u2018I\u2019ve got two years left at Fox. I\u2019m 76′.<\/p>\n

“OK, so It\u2019s a young man\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

“I get that, so I said, if we can get to the next Super Bowl, I\u2019ll be 80.<\/p>\n

“I think that\u2019s time.”<\/p>\n

Michael Strahan<\/a> is expected back for the 2025 season, but he has shared his intentions to spend more time with his family and friends.<\/p>\n

The futures of Thompson and Erin Andrews<\/a> are still up in the air as their contracts with Fox are up this summer.<\/p>\n

The iconic program Fox NFL Sunday will continue to be under a microscope as it will broadcast its 31st season this fall.<\/p>\n

Strahan, Bradshaw, Gronkowski, Howie Long, and host Curt Menefee are all expected to stay on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW England Patriots legend Julian Edelman revealed whether he’s interested in being part of Fox NFL Sunday in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[37047,7,14276,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,578],"class_list":{"0":"post-169153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-exclusives","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-fox-nfl-sunday","11":"tag-new-england","12":"tag-new-england-patriots","13":"tag-newengland","14":"tag-newenglandpatriots","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-patriots","17":"tag-section-sportamerican-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114769656848175015","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
