After a report indicated that Al Michaels’s deal with Amazon to call Thursday Night Football was on the ‘half yard line’, additional information came to light about the play-by-play announcer’s anticipated contract on Tuesday.
According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Michaels is expected to call all 16 Thursday games with Amazon next season. There were previous discussion about the 77-year-old broadcaster doing just 11 of the streaming service’s games, but he’s now planning to do the whole slate, per Marchand.
If Michaels does end up broadcasting all 16 Thursday Night Football matchups, he serves to end up with a hefty contract.
