CBS's Decision on Greg Olsen Amid Tony Romo's Leave Explained

Greg Olsen, currently an NFL analyst at Fox, has a contract that allows him to leave for a No. 1 analyst position with another network. Following Tony Romo's leave of absence after his arrest in July, speculation arose about Olsen potentially joining CBS.

However, media insider Jimmy Traina clarified that it was too late for CBS to make a move for the upcoming season, as there are likely deadlines associated with Olsen's contract. CBS has instead promoted J.J. Watt to its No. 1 NFL team alongside Jim Nantz.

While some believe Romo may not return to CBS, the network has not made any official comments regarding his future. Current indications suggest that Watt will maintain the lead analyst role for the foreseeable future, leaving Olsen's prospects for a No. 1 position uncertain.
