ESPN is looking to replace Jason Witten in the Monday Night Football booth after he returned to the Dallas Cowboys, but legendary quarterback Peyton Manning reportedly won’t be the one to do it.
On Monday, Michael McCarthy of Sporting News cited sources who said Manning elected to host a five-part, 30-episode series called Peyton's Places on ESPN+ instead of joining Joe Tessitore, Booger McFarland and Lisa Salters on the Monday Night Football team.
The decision "ends years of back and forth between Manning ... and ESPN management led by president Jimmy Pitaro," McCarthy wrote.
