Greg Olsen refuses to make demands for FOX job with Tom Brady set to take over in $375,000,000 deal

Once competitors on the field, Tom Brady and Greg Olsen will now work for the same team: FOX Sports. However, when the seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback begins his broadcast role next season, Olsen will have to step down from the FOX broadcast alongside Kevin Burkhardt. As Brady's contract with the network states that he will be a part of the lead team.

Greg Olsen was asked by Dan Patrick about his feelings of being moved off the lead broadcast for Brady's arrival. He replied that he knew that Tom Brady was going to be taking over when he was ready but, that hasn't stopped him from doing his job:

"I want to call top games, Dan. Two years ago when everything unfolded, I've known Tom was coming for over two years, it was a matter of when we didn't know exactly when... There's so many moving parts out of my control. But my goal is to be a top broadcaster again."

He continued:

"And I'm not really in the business of making demands, I'm not sitting here holding anyone's feet to the fire as FOX understands the position I'm in, they understand what my aspirations are, we understand what we signed up for. We understand the delicate situation that we're in. I understand when Tom Brady's looming over your shoulder, it's the biggest news in sports."

Olsen also went on to tell Dan Patrick that he still wants to call some of the biggest games of the NFL season. Last year, he and Burkhardt were the broadcast team that called Super Bowl LVII.

How the network intends to use Greg Olsen as a broadcaster, and which games he is selected in remains to be seen.

"I think he does an incredible job every time he's on, I love listening to him."
