Greg Olsen had a solid career as an NFL tight end. However, his run as an analyst in the No .1 booth\u00a0with Kevin Burkhart<\/a>\u00a0for the FOX NFL broadcasts is off to a phenomenal start. Olsen has\u00a0drawn rave reviews<\/a>\u00a0for his spot-on analysis and his accessible, comprehensive way of explaining things on the field. This kind of\u00a0sports media<\/a>\u00a0debut would usually set an analyst up for a 20- to 30-year run in the booth, ala Troy Aikman, Cris Collinsworth, or Tony Romo. For Olsen, though, the track to\u00a0John Madden land<\/a>\u00a0isn't that cut and dry. That's because Tom Brady and his $375 million FOX contract could be coming to take Olsen's job, and as the up-and-coming color man says, that “sucks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg Olsen reveals he's not thrilled about possibly losing his spot to Tom Brady<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Tom Brady retired (briefly) last offseason, FOX gave the Greatest Quarterback of All Time a\u00a010-year, $375 million contract<\/a>\u00a0to join the network's NFL team. Brady ultimately went back to play another season (or 10), but the contract remained in place for whenever the seven-time Super Bowl champ decides to walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the contract doesn't specify what Brady's role at FOX will be, much of the speculation is that he will be in the No. 1 booth as the analyst, as those are positions that usually come with that type of paycheck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg Olsen heard the speculation and knew the possibility that he was a one-and-done analyst when he took the job this offseason after Joe Buck and Troy Aikman defected to ESPN<\/a>. He took it anyway and knocked it out of the park this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Olsen admits he's not in the greatest situation but also feels good about his run \u2014 if it is over \u2014 because he gave it all he had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
