Report: ESPN Attempting to Acquire Al Michaels For Monday Night Football

ESPN will "attempt to acquire" NBC broadcaster Al Michaels for their Monday Night Football telecast in 2020, according to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.

The network would like to pair Michaels–who currently leads NBC's Sunday Night Football telecast–with former Colts and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. ESPN is now reportedly eyeing Manning as its "top choice" after Tony Romo signed a 10-year contract with CBS on Feb 28.

Joe Tessitore is currently ESPN's announcer on Monday Night Football and is joined by former Buccaneers defensive lineman Booger McFarland. But ESPN is "strongly considering a change," per Marchand.
