According to Front Office Sports' Michael McCarthy, ESPN is preparing to offer Peyton Manning $18 million to $20 million a year to become the network's top analyst for "Monday Night Football."
Per McCarthy, the 43-year-old Manning and ESPN executives have met over the last few days. Manning already has a prior relationship with them, as he hosted the 30-episode “Peyton’s Places” documentary series on ESPN+.
Earlier Thursday, the New York Post's Andrew Marchand reported that ESPN will also "attempt to acquire" NBC broadcaster Al Michaels for their "Monday Night Football" telecast. Talks between NBC and ESPN "have yet to begin," per Marchand, and Michaels still has two years remaining on his contract.
