ESPN is preparing an offer to make CBS’ Tony Romo the highest-paid sports broadcaster in history. Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports was the one who originally published the news. McCarthy said the offer would be between $10 million and $14 million annually to attempt to lure him from CBS. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post also reported Sunday that ESPN was expected to go “all in” for Romo.
The largest base salary Romo ever made as Dallas Cowboys quarterback was $8.5 million.
Many are predicting the most obvious move with Romo would be to use him on the “Monday Night Football” broadcast and replace Booger McFarland. ESPN has been working to make a splash since Gruden left. They have reportedly worked to get Peyton Manning into the booth, but he has resisted that. Landing Romo would be a big move for the worldwide leader in sports.
