Report: ESPN, FOX trying to lure Olsen to broadcast booth

Multiple broadcasting offers are on the table for Greg Olsen, but accepting one means ending his football career.

ESPN and FOX are courting the Carolina Panthers tight end to join their broadcast crews, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports.

FOX is targeting Olsen for an analyst role on its No. 2 or No. 3 NFL broadcast teams, while the offer from ESPN has yet to be determined.

The 12-year veteran has two years left on his contract with the Panthers, and he's set to make $3.4 million in 2019. To lure Olsen away from the field, any offer would have to top that number.

Olsen auditioned for ESPN's analyst job on "Monday Night Football" in 2018, a position that went to former tight end Jason Witten. He considered the MNF role, but then signed a two-year extension with the Panthers days later.
