“Fine. Bench Me”: Tom Brady Makes NFL Analyst Feel Vulnerable on Job Insecurity

If there is another person not looking forward to Tom Brady retiring, it is Greg Olsen. If Brady accepts Fox Sports’ multi-million-dollar contract deal, he will replace the no. 1 sports commentator for the past two seasons. With this news in conversation, Greg is sitting in an anxious spot, worried about where his job security lies.

Previously, Fox Sports had offered Brady a $375 million contract to work as an NFL analyst post his retirement. Furthermore, from the game view, Brady hasn’t seen an excellent performance. Losing out against the Dallas Cowboys was his breaking point. The 7X Super Bowl champion is still unsure whether he would continue to play in the 24th NFL season or decide to retire officially. While Brady is still making up his mind, Olsen has more to say about this situation. In a recent conversation with ESPN Chicago, Greg opens up on his job security and what he actually feels.

Olsen’s views on Tom Brady replacing him

In 2021, Olsen retired and joined Fox Sports as a full-time NFL analyst with partner Kevin Burkhardt. Upon the Brady replacement news, Marca shared his conversations with Jimmy Traina about the same. “That’s fine. Bench me, But I’m going to make it very difficult for you to bench me,”. Furthermore, Olsen even warned Brady about his consideration to be an analyst and enter the TV world.

But being in the NFL industry for the past 14 years, Olsen is aware that replacements are constant. This was evident when Olsen proved to be a better replacement consideration even when Troy Aikman left.

SI shared the conversation, ”Listen, if [Tom] Brady ends up retiring and coming … and that’s how everything unfolds, it sucks, But at the end of the day, I’m a big boy. I know what I signed up for. I took a chance on myself. I rolled the dice. Let’s see how it plays out.”

While the replacement hasn’t taken an official form yet, Greg’s work line is occupied.

What is the current work front for Olsen?

Besides worrying about the Tom Brady replacement, Olsen does have a few things lined up. He will next be seen during the Sunday NFC Champion game between the Eagles and 49ers where top NFL players such as Jalen Hurts and Jimmie Ward will see eye to eye. Besides this, Olsen along with Kevin will take over the Super Bowl LVII.
