FOX NFL game analyst Greg Olsen has made it clear what his career aspirations continue to be while being behind Tom Brady.
Olsen is part of Fox NFL‘s No. 2 broadcast team.

Olsen was the talk of the broadcasting world as he headlined Fox’s A-team alongside Kevin Burkhardt in the 2022 season.
The Carolina Panthers legend received rave reviews as he and Burkhardt even called Super Bowl 57.
However, Brady joined the network in 2024 and pushed Olsen to the B team to work alongside Joe Davis.
Olsen has since made it no secret that he wants a No. 1 broadcasting gig, but he has nothing against Brady.
While speaking at an event with Front Office Sports, Olsen discussed his career goals while making it clear that he has no personal vendetta toward Brady.
“I still seek to go out and reach the highest levels of this profession and in no means does that mean that I want it to be at the expense of Tom [Brady],” Olsen said.
“And Tom wants to continue to ascend and achieve everything he wants, that doesn’t have to come at the expense of me.
“My success is not contingent on Tom’s failure, and vice versa.
“I’m thankful for FOX, they believed in me… I want to be very crystal clear.”
Olsen then continued to voice his aim to call top games.
“Do I want to call top games? Of course. We all have aspirations to be as good as we possibly can, or else we’re wasting our time,” the former tight end said.
“That’s how I approach it and Tom and I’s personal and professional relationship, and my relationship with FOX, could not be healthier.”
Fox Sports gave Brady a 10-year, $375 million contract to be the network’s lead analyst.
Olsen, meanwhile, reportedly had his salary cut from $10 million to $3 million as he was paired with Davis.

But Olsen has shown no ill will to Brady as pair hopped on a video call together to bury rumors of tension.
In August, Brady appeared on Olsen’s Youth Inc podcast and told him, “There’s a part with our jobs where people want to write about it.
“I don’t give a s*** about any of that.
“I just care about my relationship with you, because I know if I’m cool with you, that’s all that matters.”

Olsen then sent a compliment Brady’s way.
“I’ve been very comfortable sharing it with you and sharing it with everyone else,” he said.
“I kind of think it’s cool for you and I in this moment to show we can both want to be great, and it doesn’t mean I want either of us to be bad.”
“This time will come and go and the articles will come and go, and the only people that need to be cool are me and you.
“Because that’s all that matters to me in my life.”
