Peyton Manning, Greg Olsen emerge as the potential Troy Aikman replacement
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- ESPN is facing a potential breakup with Troy Aikman and needs a replacement analyst for Monday Night Football.
- Greg Olsen is considered the favorite to replace Aikman due to his high-level experience and multiple Emmy wins.
- Peyton Manning, who already works on most Monday nights with ESPN, is also a possible candidate to join the booth, offering ESPN and Manning an exit from the ManningCast.
- Manning's decision depends on whether he wants the role and if ESPN can offer compensation comparable to Tom Brady's $37.5 million per year deal with Fox.
- Given the financial considerations, Olsen is currently the more likely choice to replace Aikman.
