Gonzalez will be “a fixture on Fox NFL Kickoff” moving into virtually the same role he occupied there as he did with CBS Sports since the 2014 season.
The former Chiefs and Falcons tight end left his job at CBS in March citing travel reasons as his means of departure. He spent three years with CBS on “The NFL Today,” which is filmed in New York. But Gonzalez lives in Los Angeles, where “Fox NFL Sunday” is filmed.
“I have had an incredible and rewarding three years at CBS and wish it could be more, but traveling to New York each week during the season is not what is best for my family at this time,” Gonzalez stated in March. “While I hope to remain in broadcasting I will look to do so in the L.A. area. I can’t thank CBS enough for their support.”
It’s a lateral move for Gonzalez, but one that requires far less travel and headaches. Gonzalez will join fellow former NFL players Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long on Fox’s weekly NFL Sunday program.
“I can’t wait for this upcoming season to get underway and begin working with the Fox Sports family,” Gonzalez said in statement provided by Fox. “It’s a great opportunity for me to continue sharing my passion for the game while remaining close to home.”
