PostSportsPlus: Why Tom Brady’s decision to wait on joining Fox was worth $7 million to Greg Olsen
’s decision to take a gap year before potentially starting as Fox Sports’ No. 1 game analyst will be worth $7 million forIf Brady showed up for Fox next fall, Olsen not only would be knocked down to the No. 2 game analyst spot, but his salary would drop from $10 million to $3 million. The $3 million is a livable wage, but the extra $7 million is a significant difference.
With Tom Brady set to take some time away from football next season, Greg Olsen will remain in Fox’s top NFL broadcast booth.Last offseason, Olsen signed his contract after Fox announced Brady would join the network. Olsen’s contract could be worth $50 million over five years if he remains in the No. 1 booth. It would have fallen to five years and $22 million if Brady started this fall. Now, at worst, Olsen will receive at least $29 million over those five years.
