Olsen reportedly inked a deal to become the No. 2 NFL game analyst for Fox Sports during the offseason, and he's now set to join the network.
The 35-year-old, who appeared in eight games for the Seattle Seahawks in 2020, spent most of his career with the Carolina Panthers, posting three 1,000-plus-yard campaigns while amassing 39 touchdowns from 2011 to 2019.
The Chicago Bears originally selected the three-time Pro Bowler with their first-round pick in 2007, and he played four seasons in the Windy City.
Olsen racked up 742 career catches for 8,683 yards and 60 touchdowns over 199 regular-season games. He also played in 10 playoff contests.
