NFL Fans Salute Fox’s Greg Olsen While Tom Brady Looms as Replacement

Despite being one of the most respected color commentators in the NFL right now, Greg Olsen could be demoted from the Fox’s top broadcast team next season when Tom Brady joins the network.

Last February, it was reported that Olsen would move to Fox’s No. 2 team and take a big salary cut when Brady joins the Fox crew for the 2024 NFL season.

Brady is expected to take Olsen’s place along play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. The seven-time Super Bowl champion signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox in 2022 before he announced his retirement from the NFL on Feb. 1, 2023. He then decided to sit out the 2023 season before joining the Fox broadcast team.

With this transition on Fox likely happening next season, fans and pundits applauded Olsen on social media Sunday during the NFC championship game between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers in what was possibly his last game on Fox’s No. 1 team.
