Peyton Manning has turned down ESPN's offer to work on Monday Night Football, according to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.
Sources told Marchand that Manning did not want to work in the broadcast booth and sign on for the job's weekly fall schedule. The former NFL quarterback has worked with ESPN+ on the shows Peyton's Places and Details.
ESPN was hoping to bring Manning and Al Michaels together in the booth, but NBC denied the network's request to discuss acquiring the broadcasting veteran. Michaels has two years remaining on his Sunday Night Football contract with NBC Sports.
