Fox dosn't cover the AFC, except for the inter-conference NFC home games.
Fox probably wouldn't have him in the booth for Saints games anyway.
He may just decide to spend the season at home with the wife and kids.
Fly fishing, playing golf, gardening, feeding the homeless, ...
I'm sure there are a lot of things he is unable to do from Apr thru Feb every
year that he would just love to do with all of this free time.
That color commentary money would probably be a sweet deal.
Hook him up with Grueden and it would be ON!
