Mark Sanchez will be returning to the NFL on Sundays this fall.
The former Jets quarterback is making the move from ESPN to Fox, where he is expected to an NFL game analyst working alongside Kevin Kugler, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
Sanchez, 34, would be replacing Chris Spielman, who left to take a job with the Detroit Lions.

Per Marchand, Sanchez has yet to sign his contract with FOX but he informed ESPN officials late last week he was leaving. It is likely that Sanchez will also appear on FS1 weekday programming, too.
Sanchez’s departure from ESPN to FOX follows the footsteps of Tom Rinaldi, Emmanuel Acho, Adam Amin and Jonathan Vilma.
It also marks yet another shakeup in FOX’s NFL booths. Kevin Burkhardt is getting a new partner in Greg Olsen this year, while last year Amin joined Mark Schlereth in the booth while Vilma was paired with Kenny Albert.
Kugler was also a new addition last season, replacing Thom Brennaman.
Sanchez had joined ESPN after an eight-year career that spanned with the Jets, Eagles, Cowboys and Washington Football Team.
He retired in 2019 and joined ESPN as part of its college football coverage.
