NFL commentator Merlin Olsen is leaving NBC after 13 years to join CBS.
CBS announced Wednesday that the Hall of Fame lineman will join the network this fall as an NFL analyst."As a longtime admirer of Merlin's work, I am excited that he will be bringing his enormous stature and credibility with NFL viewers to CBS," CBS Sports president Neal Pilson said.
Olsen, who played 15 years with the Los Angeles Rams, insisted he wasn't forced out by NBC.
"I just considered this to be a better professional opportunity," he said.
