Brady, in his regular-season broadcasting debut
with FOX, was part of the announcement Monday night when he
confirmed alongside new booth partner Kevin Burkhardt that they
would call the Cowboys at Browns in Week 1, a 4:25 p.m. ET
kickoff.
Brady and Michael Strahan, the former Giants defensive end and
part of FOX's studio show, briefly discussed the matchup and
Brady offered a good-natured ribbing of Cowboys quarterback Dak
Prescott.
"Let's see if he can finally come through," said Brady, a
seven-time Super Bowl champion. "Did that just slip out?"
The Cowboys posted a 12-5 record in 2023 with Prescott leading
the NFL in touchdown passes with 36. Dallas lost in the playoffs
to the Green Bay Packers.
Prescott is in the final season of a four-year, $160 million
contract. He would be a free agent if the two sides fail to
reach a contract extension before March and cannot be retained
on the franchise tag.
Cleveland reached the playoffs last seaon as a wild-card team
with Joe Flacco operating the offense. Deshaun Watson underwent
season-ending shoulder surgery in October and spent the
offseason rehabbing. His health is a critical storyline for the
Browns ahead of training camp.
