Breaking News: Greg Olsen breaks silence on Tom Brady’s Fox broadcast debut after NFL legend took his role…see more
After months of silence, Greg Olsen has finally spoken out on Tom Brady replacing him as Fox’s top football color commentator on a 10-year, $375million contract this season.
Despite losing stature with Brady’s arrival, Olsen does not have any angst for the former Patriot and Buccaneer. ‘It’s no different than if he came into the locker room with I was a player and we happened to play in the same position.’
Much like Brady, Olsen got right into broadcasting after his NFL career ended, starting in 2021. Brady’s first week with the headset on for Cowboys-Browns was seen as shaky, yet, most see room for improvement.
Olsen does not seen his demotion as a competition with Brady.
‘My success is not contingent upon Tom. Tom being really good doesn’t make me less good, and Tom being bad doesn’t make me better,’ Olsen said. ‘Fox has two top teams, and that’s how I view it.’
‘But I’ve talked to Joe about this – I want people to think that Joe and I are the best crew on television. It doesn’t matter that we are the B crew.’
