Greg Olsen may have a path back to an \u201cA\u201d booth.<\/p>\n

With Tony Romo\u2019s future uncertain at CBS following his OWI arrest that led to him being placed on leave \u201cuntil further notice,\u201d Olsen, a Fox commentator, could be a potential replacement, according to Puck.<\/p>\n

JJ Watt, who is filling Romo\u2019s spot in the CBS \u201cA\u201d booth alongside Jim Nantz, is reportedly also considered a potential replacement should the ex-Dallas quarterback and CBS part ways.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still a long ways to go before CBS may have to fill Romo\u2019s position, but The Athletic reported recently how the 46-year-old may face an uphill battle to return to his previous position.<\/p>\n

Andrew Marchand wrote that Romo will \u201chave to make quite a case to get his top job back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romo has a scheduled Sept. 21 court date in Wisconsin stemming from his July arrest, and Marchand reported that CBS is already planning to withholding him from its upcoming seminar for on-air talent, the Week 1 Packers-Viking clash on Sept. 13 and the Week 3 Cowboys-Ravens game in Brazil on Sept. 27.<\/p>\n

That raises questions about whether CBS would bring Romo into the fold roughly one-quarter of the way through the season, especially with all the negative headlines that will bring.<\/p>\n

Romo is still owed $72 million over four years, but The Athletic noted how his contract has a morality clause that CBS could potentially cite if it chooses to end the pact early.<\/p>\n

In that case, Olsen may have his shot to once again be calling the premier game on a network.<\/p>\n

Olsen served on the \u201cB\u201d booth alongside Joe Davis for the second straight season in 2025, having been replaced in the \u201cA\u201d booth by Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

He joined Fox for the 2021 season and worked alongside Kevin Burkhardt, and the two received the bump to the \u201cA\u201d spot after Troy Aikman and Joe Buck left for ESPN.<\/p>\n

Olsen spent two years in that role before Brady made his high-profile transition to broadcasting and became Burkhardt\u2019s color analyst.<\/p>\n

The former 41-year-old Panthers star has developed into one of the top NFL analysts in short time, earning Sports Emmys for Outstanding Personality\/Event Analyst for 2025, Top Event Analyst for 2023 and Outstanding Emerging On-Air Talent for 2022.<\/p>\n

He also called Super Bowl 2023 for Fox.<\/p>\n

And Olsen has the ability to leave for another job should it be considered a promotion, like this would be, according to the Puck report cited by Pro Football Talk.<\/p>\n

Watt could emerge as Olsen\u2019s potential competition if the job opens, and the former star defensive lineman only joined a broadcasting booth last season.<\/p>\n
