The Dallas Cowboys season opener against the Cleveland Browns will likely have a few extra viewers tuning in. And they can thank Tom Brady for that. 

The future Hall of Fame quarterback will make his FOX Sports broadcasting debut for the Cowboys' Week 1 matchup, the network announced on social media. 

Brady took a year off after retiring (for the second time), but is ready to get back into the swing of things. And this time instead of being on the field, he will be in the booth. 

With his broadcast knowledge, it's bound to be pretty great. 

Brady's deal with FOX is a 10-year, $375 million contract to be the lead analyst for the Fox Sports. He will also be joining former teammate Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. 

This will be the first time in five years that FOX starts the season with a game featuring the Cowboys. 

"Amazing. Obviously having the Cowboys on is a huge draw. As America's Team, it's going to get a little hard for me to say that all the time, understand they were the competition for a long time, but in this new role, I know the Cowboys, how important they are to this network. They got great storylines: Dak Prescott, let's see if he can finally come through… Did that just slip out. Micah Parsons, what a great player he is, and Coach McCarthy. I love covering them and I've obviously been going against them for a long time, and now I get to tell everyone how great they are," Brady said after he was told.

And Brady isn't the only member from the Patriots Dynasty embarking on a media career path. After parting ways with the Patriots following 24 seasons together, Bill Belichick was left without a head coaching gig this coming season. So instead, he's turning his attention to the media. And will be joining Payton and Eli Manning on their Manningcast during the season.
