Hours after it was reported Dan Fouts was out of the No. 2 position in CBS’ NFL booth, news Friday that Charles Davis is leaving his job at FOX to step into the role of the Hall-of-Fame quarterback.
Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports Davis is exiting his role with FOX for the seat next to Ian Eagle. This means CBS has plucked FOX’s No. 2 analyst to put him in the same role on its NFL broadcasts.
There is a verbal agreement, but the contracts are not signed yet, according to Marchand.
CBS, which has the Super Bowl next year, has added an extra playoff game in the expanded format that Ian Eagle and Davis will broadcast.
FOX has to find a voice to team with Kevin Burkhardt on its second NFL team behind Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Greg Olsen has been mentioned prominently, but decided to sign with the Seattle Seahawks rather than retire before the 2020 season.
