It looks like Drew Brees will be a busy man on Christmas Day.Despite Fox reportedly banning its talent from working for Netflix on their Christmas double-header, the network will allow Brees to work for them.Netflix are yet to announce their on-screen talent for its Christmas GameDay showGETTYWhile some of Fox and ESPN’s biggest names are being denied the chance to appear on the streaming giants holiday football programming, Brees looks to be the one to benefit the most.It is reported that Brees had already agreed his Netflix Christmas deal while he was unsigned to one of the major networks – that changed when he joined Fox on Nov. 7.The New Orleans Saints legend joined Fox full-time after Mark Sanchez was dismissed following his involvement in an incident in Indianapolis that left both Sanchez and a lorry drama hospitalized with serious injury.Brees will make his Fox debut in Week 11 when he joins Adam Amin to call the Green Bay Packers visit to New York to face the Giants and he will also call the second game of the Christmas Day football feast.Instead of being at home, Brees will be in the booth at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis as the Minnesota Vikings host the Detroit Lions in a huge NFC North game.It has been an uneasy start to life as an announcer for Brees, who retired in 2020 and is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.He ranks second all-time in NFL history, only behind Tom Brady, for passing yards with 80,358 and in passing touchdowns with 571.However his transition to broadcasting has not been as smooth as his passing was, with his first stint coming to an abrupt end with NBC having signed a long-term contract to provide studio analysis as well as call Notre Dame games.That deal was confirmed before he finished a 20-season NFL career that will likely end in the Hall of Fame, but it was announced in 2022 that after one-year with the network he would not be staying on.Now the 46-year-old gets a second chance, starting on Sunday and running through to what is likely to be one of the most watched games of the season as part of Netflix’s Christmas Day double.Drew Brees is set to feature on Netflix’s programGETTYLast year was a success for Netflix, with the Chiefs game attracting a record 65 million US viewersReutersNetflix dealt major blow due to ESPN-Fox banIt looks like Brees will be one of the few talents from Fox and ESPN, who have all refused to allow their employees to work for Netflix, which they view as a competitor. Other broadcasters like CBS and NBC Sports will allow their talent to work for Netflix.Previously, ESPN allowed Laua Rutledge and Mina Kimes to work for Netflix while Fox let Greg Olsen be a part of the program. Netflix’s Christmas gameday is just six weeks away, and with a ban on hiring on ESPN-Fox talent, the streaming giants have been dealt a major blow.Multiple sources spoke to Front Office Sports and explained why they aren’t allowing Netflix to poach their talent.“We pay our people so much money, we don’t want them associated with other network,” one source said.It looks Olsen won’t be working for Netflix this yearGetty“If Netflix or YouTube wants to hire somebody full-time, go for it. Or do what Amazon did and hire a full-time broadcast team. Otherwise, stay away from our talent.Another source said: “I’m obviously very pro-talent. But ESPN and Fox are saying to themselves, ‘Why should we help our competitors by lending them talent?”“They make a significant long-term investment to lock down the best of the best. They commit to long-term deals worth millions of dollars.“But they’re supposed to let their people work for a competitor for a day? I’m pro-commerce and pro-talent, but I don’t get upset when they feel strongly about this.”These one-off Netflix gigs for presenters and announcers generate a huge payday for them with reports claimed that a top colour commentator could get $100k for a day’s work while a studio analyst could earn $50,000.As well as the game between the Lions and Vikings, the Netflix schedule boasts a second high-profile division game.Kicking off the day of festive football is the Dallas Cowboys meeting with the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field.Amazon takes over broadcast duties for a traditional Thursday Night Football to finish the day as the Kansas City Chiefs host AFC West rivals the Denver Broncos.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
