| ESPN is preparing an offer that would make Tony Romo the highest-paid sportscaster in TV history, with a multi-year deal that would pay him between $10 million to $14 million annually, said sources. |
| If signed by ESPN, Romo could succeed Booger McFarland as the analyst on “Monday Night Football,” said sources. 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. |
For reference, the big extension he signed with Dallas in 2013 averaged about $16.4 million / year.

But this would be an enormous improvement for ESPN.

I agree but it's really nowhere but up from Booger.
Must be selling a shit ton of Disney+ subscriptions.
As the color man on the top team (whether it be Fox or CBS), he's seeing the best game that network as to offer that week.
He'll be paid well, but be doing some really DOG games on MNF.
I dislike Tessitore more than Booger.
Joe: Strangest thing today...
Larry: What's that?
Joe: I just got over 2,000 applications from ex NFL players today for the school this afternoon. Do you know what's going on?
His voice does bug me. I almost wonder if he has an ailment.
Other than that, I like his insight.
They can thank Disney and Marvel for the loan
I’ve turned MNF off w Booger if it’s not a game I care about. And even if I do. Its painfully stupid blabber

Or not watch a game because of who is announcing the game?

+1. Both booger and tessitore are terrible.
Also as bad as Romo was his first couple of games is imo how good he has become. I still love collinsworth but he is easily my second favorite now. Tho I have always been partial to Aikmen and Buck as well.
he suffers from TMI ...use a graphic like his predecessors but not each down and distance.

Personally speaking I hope this happens. I rather he be on MNF which I don’t watch much of versus CBS games. I’m not a fan of his broadcasting.
Did Romo bang your mom? Girlfriend? Both?
But it's ESPN's money and I believe in what ever the market can bear.

He talks way too much.
