ESPN reportedly is willing to pay big to get Peyton Manning into the announcing booth.
According to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, ESPN is prepared to offer the former quarterback $18-20 million per year to work as lead analyst for Monday Night Football.
This would eclipse the record set by Tony Romo after he reportedly signed a deal with CBS in late February that will pay him more than $17 million per year, per the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.
