Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Fox has not opened contract-extension talks with Greg Olsen and his deal expires after this season, making him likely to test the free-agent market.
- Olsen rose quickly at Fox after retiring, served briefly as the network’s lead analyst and called Super Bowl LVII, and has won multiple Emmys for his work.
- Industry reporting says Olsen’s contract may include an opt-out clause that would let him depart if another network offers him a No. 1 analyst role.
- CBS, ESPN and Prime Video are the chief potential landing spots cited by reporters, with Prime Video’s recent deal for Kirk Herbstreit said to include flexibility to move if a preferred candidate emerges.
- If Olsen leaves, the move could trigger a wave of changes across broadcast lineups — affecting who calls the Super Bowl next season and altering career paths for analysts at Fox, CBS and ESPN.
