In a surprising turn of events, Sunday's Detroit-San Francisco game not only marked the end of the line for the Lions but also concluded Greg Olsen's role as the lead NFL game analyst at Fox. With CBS hosting this year's Super Bowl, Fox's NFL season has come to a close. While it is not entirely impossible, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tom Brady may take Olsen's spot in 2024.

The big question now is whether Olsen will find himself on the No. 2 team at Fox or if he will explore opportunities at a new network. Olsen's future at Fox hinges on whether he will be considered for a top spot when openings arise at other networks. Will Olsen be a sought-after analyst? Only time will tell.

One unfortunate aspect for Olsen is that his pay at Fox will sharply decrease from $10 million to $3 million once he gets replaced by Brady. This places additional pressure on Brady to perform at a high level right from the start. As is the norm with social media, Brady can expect both praise and criticism from online critics. Olsen, on the other hand, typically receives positive or neutral feedback from most people, a rare trait for high-profile game analysts.

Considering the circumstances, Olsen's best move might be to stay at Fox for a year or two in order to gauge whether Brady's tenure in the booth lasts longer than that of his idol, Joe Montana. Depending on the flexibility in his contract, Olsen may find himself in contention for prime seats at other networks in the future.

In the ever-evolving world of sports broadcasting, it remains to be seen what path Olsen will choose and how his career will unfold. As fans and analysts alike eagerly await news of his next moves, one thing is certain: the end of Olsen's tenure at Fox marks the beginning of a new chapter for both him and the network.
