The future is green for former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
After a successful transition from NFL signal-caller to color commentator alongside Jim Nantz in the CBS broadcast booth, the soon-to-be free agent analyst has set himself up for his own big payday. His initial three-year deal with CBS expires after this season.
A few hours after Romo wrapped up his call of the AFC Divisional Round mactchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans, Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy — unrelated to the Cowboys’ new head coach — reported that ESPN is preparing to offer Romo the richest contract in television history for a sportscaster.
Andrew Marchand of The New York Post also reported on Sunday that the network is expected to go ‘all in’ on Romo should New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees not be interested in heading straight into the booth upon his potential retirement.
ESPN declined to comment to McCarthy on the reported multi-year deal that would pay Romo between $10 million to $14 million annually. For reference, with added inflation rates a deal of that size would be similar to the $8 million/year John Madden earned during his peak as a broadcaster, according to The Washington Post’s Cindy Boren.
ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast team has somewhat struggled to connect with audiences, with or without former Cowboys teammate Jason Witten on board, and according to McCarthy, Romo could be seen as a potential replacement for current analyst Booger McFarland.
CBS will have the right to match any offer made to Romo in the coming months. In August, Romo’s agency reportedly asked for a deal worth $10 million annually before talks slowed.
