Oh, you thought that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were splitting up?
Evidently they’re a packaged deal, and those two will be ESPN’s new Monday Night Football team starting in 2022.
Media insider Andrew Marchand of the New York Post has the details:
On Friday, Fox granted Buck permission to talk with ESPN, according to sources. A deal is expected to come to fruition shortly.
With Fox, Buck had one-year at $11 million remaining on his contract. Fox, though, is letting him out early as a good gesture for his years of service to the company.
