No one even knows if Peyton Manning would be even good at announcing but thanks to Tony Romo he is about to get $20 million a year to try it out as a hobby.
What a time to be alive.
Here are the details via Front Office Sports.
Tony Romo could have the shortest reign ever as the highest-paid sports TV analyst in history.
ESPN is preparing to offer Peyton Manning a record $18 million to $20 million a year to serve as lead analyst for “Monday Night Football,” sources tell Front Office Sports.
If so, that would eclipse Romo’s new multi-year contract from CBS Sports that will pay him $17 million annually.
The 43-year old Manning met with ESPN executives over the last few days, sources said. The two-time Super Bowl winner with the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts has an existing business relationship with ESPN, hosting the 30-episode “Peyton’s Places” documentary series on ESPN+.
