Tom Brady Post Retirement Might Be Replacing Greg Olsen As Game Analyst Creating Tension At FOX

Tom Brady actually has a post-playing job lined up this time, unlike his first retirement.

Tom Brady Post Retirement Might Be Replacing Greg Olsen As Game Analyst Creating Tension At FOX

Brady would join the network as the primary NFL commentator after his career was over, FOX CEO Lachlan Murdoch revealed in May of last year, 40 days after Brady had already retired and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady declaring that he is retired “for good” suggests that day has come.

However, don’t anticipate him to be included in the forthcoming Super Bowl 57 coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs game on February 12.

FOX executives and personnel found out with the rest of the world Brady was retiring when he recorded and posted a video on social media Wednesday morning.

It’s worth noting that the news of Brady joining FOX came at the corporate level. Brady or the executive team will be the ones to make any decisions on his future at the network.

Brady won’t be featured in the network’s coverage of the Super Bowl given the timing of his declaration, which came less than two weeks before the game. He would, at the very least, add to the pregame show. Even that would be highly unlikely.

Intriguing circumstances have been established by him and Fox Sports, in addition to the fact that he is Tom Brady. Brady has a 10-year, $375 million contract with the network to serve as its No. 1 NFL game commentator with Kevin Burkhardt, as The Post exclusively revealed.

The curiosity will only increase if Olsen throws for four touchdowns in the booth during Eagles-Chiefs.

Brady may enter the No. 1 booth whenever he wants with the current setup. He might decide to take a year off, but he has a very good chance of calling the best games the following season.

All indicators point to network management not using him in the booth for this Super Bowl, which will be broadcast on Fox. They are aware that using a three-man arrangement for the first time in front of 100 million viewers would be foolish and irresponsible given their $375 million investment.

The general consensus is that Olsen might get a rough treatment. On this stance, we are a long-term contrarian. He is 37 years old and earns about $10 million annually. Olsen will be moved to Fox’s No. 2 place on the depth chart when Brady shows up, earning around $3 million. Still, you did a fantastic job.

Olsen, however, is in charge of his future. Sources claim that if a No. 1 position becomes available, he may quit under the terms of his contract. He might turn out to be the Cris Collinsworth of this generation, enjoying a long and successful career despite never having played quarterback, for the Cowboys, or in New York. People love an underdog — especially if the person delivers.

Brady’s announcement makes the media aspect of the Super Bowl that much more juicy, which is why Fox Sports wanted him — he is a star among stars.

Whether he will join the FOX booth for next season, presumably replacing current No. 1 game analyst Greg Olsen alongside Kevin Burkhardt, remains to be seen. USA TODAY Sports’ messages to Brady’s representatives have not been returned, while FOX Sports declined to comment.
