Last offseason, broadcaster transactions dominated the NFL’s news cycle more than player transactions.
In July, Fox announced a stunning 10-year deal with Tom Brady to become its lead analyst whenever he retired from the NFL. This came on the heels of the network elevating Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen from its “B” booth to its “A” booth after losing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to ESPN.
Olsen, who is currently in his second full season as a color commentator, joined the latest episode of the SI Media Podcast and shared his feelings on holding a job that he knows is reserved for someone else. He also talked about the time he spoke to Brady about the situation earlier this season.
