Greg Olsen has been part of Fox Sports for many years now. The former NFL TE is one of the well-known names in the sportscaster department. However, such pedigree is useless when he’s faced with the best NFL player of all time.
Tom Brady signed a massive $375 million deal with Fox Sports and is reportedly going to join their broadcasting team from the 2024 season onwards. This move has inculcated humongous changes in the Fox broadcasting department, as many analysts may lose their job to make way for Brady.
It is reported that Olsen won’t lose his job. However, there are rumors that state that the former Bears TE will have to take a significant pay cut to still keep working at Fox.
Olsen is ready for the challenge and won’t leave the Fox broadcasting booth until he’s fired. The 37 years old broadcaster is prepared to face Tom Brady in the broadcasting booth and will fight dearly for his job.
“I’m willing to do what these guys aren’t willing to do. Until they kick me out, I’m gonna sit there and do it. Maybe he does come and take my job one day. I can live with that. I get it. I understand the rules that we all signed up for. I don’t ask for anybody’s sympathy. It’s been awesome.” Greg Olsen stated via Queen City News.

He’s the greatest, I get it. I understand why they went after him, but I’m not going to roll over and die.”
