Though Dan Fouts worked just two Patriots games with play-by-play voice Ian Eagle in 2019, he had become familiar in Foxborough the past six seasons as part of CBS’s No. 2 NFL broadcast team.
That will change in 2020, whenever the NFL resumes. CBS has decided not to bring back Fouts, and is searching for a new analyst alongside Eagle on its second-most prominent pairing, following its high-profile Jim Nantz/Tony Romo booth. The news of Fouts’s departure was first reported by Andrew Marchand at the New York Post.
Fouts, 68, is a Hall of Fame quarterback – he spent his entire 15-year career with the San Diego Chargers – who found much success in his second career.
