There has been a massive uproar after news broke that his salary will be cut by over 70 percent as a result of Tom Brady joining the network next season. Olsen, who currently makes $10 million per year, will be moved to the B-team of Fox Network. This will lead to a significant decrease in his salary to just $3 million.

Brady’s future in the booth

Tom Brady signed a mammoth $375 Million deal with Fox Sports last year, which would see the legendary QB join Fox as an analyst after his retirement. Brady, of course, has been all over the news with his announcement about retiring earlier this month. With his post-retirement life in full swing, Brady now looks to turn to his next endeavour in the commentary booth. 

Brady’s addition to the Fox Sports team is a major coup for the network. As one of the most successful players in NFL history, Brady brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the broadcast booth. He is also one of the most popular and recognizable players in the league, which is sure to bring in a wider audience for Fox Sports. 

Brady will join the booth in 2024, and we can’t wait to see him take to the analyst part of his career!
