The veteran joined Fox Sports' broadcast to share his insights and catch the games from their LA studio. Kelly, Stafford's wife, praised him on her podcast, "The Morning After," for his impressive performance and professional rapport with host Charissa Thompson.

She also asked him if he would consider becoming an analyst after retiring from the sport, following in the footsteps of his peers. To which Stafford responded, "Yeah, I would love to. I think, uh, you know, talking about the game, being in some version of that is an appealing thing to me. Uh, you know, wherever it is, it is, but I do think staying involved in the game of football is something I want to do. The biggest passion outside of my family is the game of football, and that's a fun, unique way to stay involved in it while getting to, you know, watch, talk, and be around the game.”
