ESPN Is Expected To Make Tony Romo The Highest Paid Sportscaster In History
Whether you love Tony Romo in the broadcast both or not you better get used to seeing more of him. ESPN is reportedly ready to make him the highest paid sportscaster in history.
According to Front Office Sports , the world-wide leader in sports could pay out $10 million to $14 million to Romo annually.
Romo would likely take the place of Booger McFarland as co-host of Monday Night Football alongside Joe Tessitore.
According to FOS, Romo could also potentially quarterback ESPN’s NFL game coverage if parent Disney acquires a Sunday afternoon game package from rival Fox Sports, CBS Sports, and NBC Sports during the next round of NFL TV negotiations in 2020-2021.
The 39-year-old former Dallas Cowboy quarterback is currently making about $4 million annually on the final year of his three-year rookie broadcasting deal at CBS.
CBS has a right to match any offers for Romo.
