Peyton Manning could become the next retired NFL quarterback to cash in as a highly paid sports analyst, with ESPN setting its sights set on The Sheriff, according to a report.
Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com reported that Manning has been offered between $18 million and $20 million per season to become the next analyst for ESPN and Monday Night Football.
Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that ESPN’s dream is to bring in both Manning and Al Michaels to man the Monday night booth. Marchand said the sports network is also interested in former Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, but the 38-year-old has already stated his intention to continue playing.
